Team News

Boavista
Benfica
  • Both Bulos and Carraca are suspended, so Schembri will keep his spot up top while Carvalho will come into midfield.
  • Carrillo is suspended and after winning the title, Vitoria will likely rotate and give minutes to some underused players.

Prediction

  • With two wins and a tie in their last three matches, Boavista will end the season in pretty decent form regardless but playing Benfica always offers extra motivation. Under Miguel Leal they've been more productive away than at home, where they also lost 1-0 to both Porto and Sporting.
  • "Tetracampeões", Benfica has now won four titles in a row for the first time in the club's history and they'll extend the celebrations into this match while also rotating, keeping in mind the final of the Portuguese cup which will come the following weekend.
  • We'll see an open match that will be tough to predict. Iuri Medeiros's amazing run of form makes me think he can score against SLB again, though.
