After suffering a new defeat in the Champions League, 0-1 with Manchester United, the guest band drastically reduced their chances of catching the European spring. Although they have created some good opportunities for the goal, the “eagles” have not managed to send at least a hundred on the side of the gate. In fact, recent developments have been far from convincing. With just two wins in the last eight games played in all competitions, Benfica crosses the most difficult time this year. Moreover, during this period the offensive only managed to score more than one goal just once. However, in front of a newly promoted, things should be different. In the last direct confrontation, disputed in early 2013, Benfica scored 6-0. It was the 6th success achieved in the 7 direct matches recorded so far.

Probable teams:

Aves (4-2-3-1): Quim – Balde Galo Defendi Nelson – Gomes Washington – Amilton Machado Gauld – Derley

Benfica (4-4-2): Svilar – Douglas Luisao Dias Grimaldo – Salvio Pizzi Fejsa Zivkovic – Seferovic Jonas
