Our prediction for this Portugal League Cup match:
Estadio D. Afonso Henriques will host Wednesday’s Taca da Portugal game between Vitoria Guimaraes and Benfica. Guimaraes kicked off their League Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Covilha, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Benfica. Rochinha should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a late winner against Maritimo, whereas Fernandes, Gui, Nabian, and Silvio remain in the recovery room.
The Eagles, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Vizela at the weekend, with Rafa Silva scoring the winner in the 8th minute of the stoppage time. The capital club aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but seeing that key players will be rested in Wednesday’s clash, the share of spoils is on the horizon. All Radonjic, Ramos, Taarabt, and Pizzi are pushing for a start, while the likes of Almeida, Dias, Fernandes, Lazaro, Pinho, and Seferovic should miss out with injuries.
