Team News

Estrela da Amadora
Benfica
  • Brígido left for Académico de Viseu, which leaves Gudzulic and Meixedo competing to start in goal.
  • Danilo Veiga and Tiago Gabriel were signed by Lecce, which forces José Faria to make changes at the back. As a result, Diogo Travassos should feature at right-wing back and Ferro will likely start at the heart of the defense.
  • Carreras should get his Starting XI spot back after serving a match ban against Juventus.
  • With a scored and an assist, Pavlidis was a standout performer in midweek and will be full of beans here.

Prediction

  • Estrela da Amadora picked up a valuable point when they travelled to Famalicão last weekend. However, they haven't won in 4 games and are already in the bottom 3.
  • After losing to Casa Pia, Benfica bounced back in the best possible way by beating Juventus 2-0 in Turin, which guaranteed them access to the UEFA Champions League play-offs. The Eagles should be confident here.
  • Despite the accumulated fatigue by the Champions League games, Benfica have enough quality and squad depth to overcome this. The Eagles should get all three points here.
