Team News

Benfica
Estrela da Amadora
  • Tiago Gouveia made an impact coming from the bench against Casa Pia, with a goal and an assist, and should start from the outset here.
  • Samuel Soares should replace the now injured Trubin in goal.
  • Nani could make his first start with the new club at Estádio da Luz, replacing Gustavo Henrique out wide.
  • Ferro should be paired with Lopes at the heart of the defense as he prepares to return to Estádio da Luz.

Prediction

  • SL Benfica had to wait 160 minutes to score their first goal of the season, but it turned out to be decisive in their victory over Casa Pia last weekend. Their performances remain unconvincing and Roger Schmidt has been highly criticised.
  • After a surprising draw against SC Braga, Estrela de Amadora had no chance against Famalicão, who beat them 3-0 at Reboleira. Filipe Martins' men have a few things to iron out, especially at the back, and they'll have a stern test at the Estádio da Luz.
  • It's been 26 years since the last time that Estrela managed to steal points from SL Benfica at the Estádio da Luz, something that has only happened twice in the 18 meetings between the two sides at the Eagles' stadium. The trend should continue on Saturday, with a home win beng the most likely scenario.
