Benfica – Estoril Picks & Prediction
Benfica - Estoril Prediction, Picks and Tips
This Thursday, one of the important Portuguese football teams, such as Benfica, is preparing to receive the visit of a modest cast from the Second League of Portugal, such as Estoril, in play back for the semifinals of the Taca de Portugal, in commitment to be played at the Estadio da Luz.
Those led by Jorge Jesus have put the tie on the right track, since the Eagles won the first leg with a clear 1-3, in a game where the great figure was Darwin Nunez who was present with a double, a result that even it was the only victory before their recent 2-0 win over Rio Ave now last in the Primeira Liga.
For Benfica, the Taca de Portugal is the only competition left to avoid ending up empty-handed, since at the moment they are fourth in the Primeira Liga with 42 points, thirteen points less than the leader Sporting Lisboa, so most likely is that Jorge Jesus decides to put the best of his team in this commitment and what better than being a local where they have not lost in their last twelve official games with eight of them ending in victories.
Possible lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos; Alex Grimaldo, Nicolas Otamendi, Jardel, Gilberto; Rafa Silva, Adel Taarabt, Julian Weigl, Pizzi; Darwin Nunez, Haris Seferovic.
For their part, those led by Bruno Pinheiro are very fine in their participation in the Second League where they have won their last three matches and thus remain firm in the first place with forty-seven points, although they cannot feel very calm, since below comes Feirense with one point less.
But finally, now is the time to focus on their participation in the Taca da Portugal, where they have the chance to get into the final, although the outlook does not look easy, since they will have to go to the Da Luz Stadium to score three goals, and That is not easy for an Estoril that has done very badly when it has had to face Benfica, to the point that in nineteen games, the Eagles were left with seventeen of them, although there what motivates it is that they have only lost their last fourteen official away games, but the story changes a lot here, every time they visit a Benfica that is one of the top teams in Portuguese football.
Possible lineup: Daniel Figueira, Harramiz, Abdul-Aziz Yakubu, Andre Vidigal, Joao Gamboa, Miguel Crespo, Ze Valente, Joaozinho, Hugo Gomes, Hugo Basto, Joao Diogo.
