Benfica – Portimonense Picks & Prediction
Benfica - Portimonense Prediction, Picks and Tips
Benfica returns to action in the Portuguese Primeira Liga with a home game this Tuesday against Portimonense at Estádio da Luz.
Those led by Jorge Jesus could not stay with the Portuguese Super Cup after losing to their fierce rivals such as FC Oporto, but finally now Águilas have to focus their activity on the Primeira Liga.
In their last game for the domestic competition Benfica beat Gil Vicente 0-2 as a visitor and thus added a streak of three consecutive victories, in order to closely follow the leader Sporting Lisboa who is two points ahead, so this Tuesday the Águilaas want to prevail as a homeowner where they have lost only one of their ten official games this 2020/21 with seven of them ending in wins.
Possible lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos; Nuno Tavares, Jan Vertonghen, Nicolas Otamendi, Gilberto; Everton, Julian Weigl, Pedrinho, Adel Taarabt; Luca Waldschmidt, Haris Seferović.
For their part, those led by Paulo Sérgio could not make their local condition prevail and settled for a lukewarm draw at zero goals against Famalicao.
In this way, Portimonense continues to complicate the issue of permanence, since they are last with just eight points in ten games, but they still know that the story may be different, since a victory and climb to thirteenth place.
As for their away games, Portimonense comes from falling in their last four outings where they barely scored a goal, and since these numbers do not fill with much confidence for the game this Tuesday, and more when they face a Benfica against whom they have not been able in the last three direct games where they lost two of them.
Possible alignment: Samuel Portugal; Fali Cande, Mauricio Antonio, Koki Anzai, Fahd Moufi; Dener Clemente, Pedro Sa; Aylton Boa Morte, Júlio César, Anderson da Silva; Fabricio Messias.
