Benfica – Famalicao Picks & Prediction
Benfica - Famalicao Prediction, Picks and Tips
In order to find victory again, this Monday, the always candidate for the title, such as Benfica, prepares to receive a visit from a needy Famalicão, at stake to be played at the Estadio da Luz and which corresponds to the eighteenth day of the Primeira Portugal League.
Those led by Jorge Jesus have not been having a good time last time and so the Eagles in their last game could not make their homeowners prevail and had to settle for a lukewarm draw at zero goals against Vitória Guimaraes.
In this way, Benfica has not been able to win in its last four games for the Primeira Liga that have led it to fall to fourth place with 34 points, eleven points less than the leader Sporting Lisboa and five points less than the second that is FC Porto , box that is the last for Champions League.
But anyway, this Monday the Eagles aim to reunite with victory, and what better way to do it than at home where they have lost one of their last twelve games with nine of them ending in victories.
Possible lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos; Alex Grimaldo, Jan Vertonghen, Nicolas Otamendi, Gilberto; Franco Cervi, Julian Weigl, Adel Taarabt, Rafa Silva; Pizzi, Darwin Nunez.
For their part, those led by Silas could not take advantage of their status as homeowners and fell 0-2 to Moreirense, in what was their third consecutive defeat.
Being a bit more extensive, we can say that Os Azuis e Brancos have won only one of their last ten games for the Primeira Liga, where six of their last seven ended in losses.
In this way, Famalicão is placed in the penultimate place of the classification with fourteen points, but he knows that there is still a chance to maintain the category, since the difference with the last team outside the red zone is just one point.
The issue is that we do not believe that history will change much for them this Monday since they have in front of a Benfica against whom they have not been able to win in their five games where they lost three of them, losing their two visits to this stage.
For a change, for this game Silas will not be able to count on forward Jhonata Robert who was sent off against Moireirense and is suspended for this clash.
Possible lineup: Luiz Junior; Srdan Babic, Patrick, Riccieli da Silva; Ruben Vinagre, Manuel Ugarte, Andrija Lukovic, Diogo Figueiras; Bozhidar Kraev, Gil Dias; Anderson.
