Benfica - Braga Predictions
The national champion enters the new season to win! Won the superstar Cândido de Oliveira, thus winning his first title of the season. Whoever saw the preparation games of the incarnates did not foresee with certainty a victory by 3-1 against Vitória de Guimarães. But, Rui Vitória warned that the team would be prepared in official games, and this was verified! A thrilling Benfica, with good plays of involvement, especially in attack and effectiveness at the time of finalization. A Benfica, much more similar to last year that promises the same determination, in this first day, in the reception to Sporting Braga. The "Warriors of the Minho" promise a great season, to evaluate for the quality of its squad, but in the pre-season and two games for the Europa League, it seemed to be still a long way from Braga that intends to surprise the big ones this season. The reinforcements are many and of great quality, but they are still far from forming a team with strong dynamics! The Estádio da Luz is expected to have a flood, not only for supporters to celebrate their first title at home, but also to support the team in this first step towards the 37th championship, the first division, currently called NOS League! The Benfica attack promised in the pre-season, especially Jonas and Seferovic, and against Vitória de Guimarães they scored the 1st and 2nd goals respectively. Also Raúl Giménez left the bench to seal the victory, making it 3-1. A trio that will be a true "threat" to the Bracarense defensive sector! Benfica made only 1 official game this season, but it was clear: There was a Benfica in the pre-season and there was another, completely different in the Super Cup! It seems to have made a new partnership in the attack of Benfica: Jonas and Seferovic, were featured in the pre-season with goals, and they did again in the first game, 1 each! Raúl Jiménez continues to be decisive when he leaves the bench. Scored the third goal and continue to give guarantees of being able to score and even solve games. Sporting Braga have not been well, in terms of exhibition and suffered a lot to eliminate the AIK, at home, not going beyond the result (1-1). Only 4 days separate the last match of Braga (with the AIK) of the match with Benfica. Still for another exhausting game with 120 minutes.Benfica - Braga head to head
