Team News

Casa Pia AC
Benfica
  • Kraev won't feature here as he serves a ban. Rafael Brito might replace him and will likely be motivated to face his former club.
  • Lelo is on the move to SC Braga and could play his last match with Casa Pia here.
  • Di María should reclaim his place in the starting XI after featuring from the bench against Barcelona in midweek.
  • Manu Silva were signed last Monday and could make his debut on Saturday.

Prediction

  • After losing 3-1 to Rio Ave, Casa Pia reacted with a win against Boavista. They've only lost one game in their last seven, but have had some defensive vulnerabilities recently.
  • In an epic game, Benfica ended up losing 5-4 against Barcelona last time out. The Eagles had a good game offensively, especially when they had space to exploit their depth, but they couldn't hold off the Blaugrana's attacking power.
  • Despite playing in midweek, Benfica should overcome fatigue with the inclusion of key players who didn't play the 90 minutes against Barcelona, such as Di Maria. Taking this into account, along with Casa Pia's defensive weaknesses, the Reds can be expected to win

  • All depends on how last game affected Benfica. Casa Pia is quite competent, still suffer a lot of goals but scored on 12 of 13 last games. O2.5 and BTTS
