Team News

Farense
Benfica
  • Fabrício Isidoro will boost the hosts' options at the middle of the park but he's not expected to start
  • Mattheus Oliveira and Bruno Duarte, on the other hand, will miss out due to an accumulation of bookings. Only the latter was expected to start and will probably be replaced by Zé Luís up front.
  • After scoring his first goal with SL Benfica, Tomás Araújo got injured and won't feature here, meaning that António Silva and Otamendi should featre at the heart of the defense.
  • Roger Schmidt might rest some players given that SL Benfica played extra time in midweek. As a result, João Mário and Kokçu might have a chance to start, replacing Neres and Rafa.

Prediction

  • SC Farense delivered a fine performance against Vitória SC last weekend and only a stoppage time equalizer kept the from bringing all three points from Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. With a 4-point cushion to the bottom three, they will be way less pressured than their next opponents.
  • SL Benfica' dreams of reaching an European final were crushed as they lost to Marseille on penalties last Thursday. With a 7-point gap to 1st place, the Eagles will do everything they can to end the season on an high note.
  • The visitors' are facing a tough moment right now and will not have the ideal scenario to bounce back - it's usually hard to beat SC Farense at their home soil. With that in mind, the 'Leões de Faro' might get something from Monday' match.
