Prediction: 3-0
Tondela
Benfica will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Tondela at their Estadio da Luz on Matchday 4. The Eagles made a flying start to the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to regain the Primeira Liga trophy. Jan Vertonghen should be fit to face Tondela, while both Ferro and Haris Seferovic remain in the recovery room. Summer signing Nemanja Radonjic is unlikely to make his Benfica debut on Sunday.
Tondela, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back defeats to Vizela (1-2) and Portimonense (0-3), and seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. In their last meeting in Lisbon Benfica recorded a 2-0 win over Tondela.
