Benfica
Estoril
  • Otamendi was sent off in the 'Clássico' against FC Porto and will serve a match ban. Either Morato or Tomás Araújo will feature alongside António Silva at the heart of the defense.
  • Kokçu and João Mário were rested in midweek and will likely feature from the outset on Sunday.
  • Cassiano is fully recovered and should lead the line on Sunday.
  • Pedro Álvaro and Tiago Araújo should also get their starting XI spot back after missing out last time around.

Prediction

  • Benfica are dealing with the worst run of the season as they lost to both of their main rivals (2-1 to Sporting and 5-0 to FC Porto) and were held to a draw at home by Rangers at the Europa League. They need to bounce back as quick as possible if they want to continue to pressure Sporting at 1st place.
  • Estoril' defensive frailty were evident last weekend on their 3-1 loss at home to Vitória SC. They conceded three goals in each of their last three games.
  • The hosts have been heavily criticized lately and are eager to respond in the best way possible - with a comfortable win. They have the talent to do so and will face an ideal opponent on that regard.
