Team News

Estrela da Amadora
Benfica
  • Hevertton was sent off against Vitória SC and will serve the first of a two-match ban. Jean Filipe will probably deputise.
  • Rodrigo Pinho will be motivated to face his former club and could replace André Luiz up front.
  • Álvaro Fernández made his debut last time out and it wouldn't be a surprise if he started at left-back.
  • Arthur Cabral should regain his spot up front, relegating Musa to the bench.

Prediction

  • Estrela lost 3-0 to Vitória last weekend, extending their winless run to five matches. They're only two points above the relegation zone and will need to get a good result if they want to avoid dropping into the bottom three.
  • SL Benfica were unexpectedly dumped out of the League Cup as they lost to Estoril on penalties. Prior to that, they defeated Boavista FC 2-0 in the league, which helped to keep the pressure on Sporting CP.
  • The Eagles won't be in for an easy 90 minutes, but Estrela's defensive fragility should help their cause. An away win is expected here.
