Team News

Moreirense
Benfica
  • Alanzinho is a doubt for the hosts. If he fails to recover, Tavares, Ofori and Ismael will form the midfield trio.
  • Gabrielzinho and Antonisse will be in competition to start out wide given that Pedro Santos is unable to face his parent club.
  • Tiago Gouveia and Aursnes went off injured and won't be available here, which opens the Starting XI door to Di María.
  • Kokçu had a decent performance last time around, scoring the winner and will push for a start once again.

Prediction

  • Moreirense failed to surprise SC Braga away from home but managed to put up a fight. César Peixoto's men have performed well at the start of the Primeira Liga season and could cause Benfica a lot of trouble.
  • Benfica come into this game on the back of two wins, but in neither case did they put in a convincing display. The fans have been vehemently criticising the team, which will be under pressure to win on Friday.
  • After a good start to the season, Moreirense have nothing to lose and that could play in their favour as they face a Benfica side with a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. With that in mind, it wouldn't be shocking if the hosts picked up a point or three from this game
