Prediction: 1-2
Benfica
Benfica will be looking to build on a 2-0 win over Rio Ave when they take on Belenenses at Estadio Nacional de Jamor on Monday evening. The Eagles are eager to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at O Belem. Experienced attacker Pizzi, who scored as a substitute in the triumph over Rio Ave, is pushing for a start. The good news for the capital club is that Nicolas Otamendi returns from suspension.
O Belem are undefeated in the previous four home games, but Benfica are likely to pose a much bigger threat for the mid-table side than their previous rivals. Esgaio is back from suspension for the hosts, while both Kau and Varela are likely to miss the game through injuries. In the first half of the season Benfica rolled over Belenenses 3-0, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Goncalo Silva):
Born in Barreiro, Portugal, on June 4, 1991, Goncalo Silva is a defender who plays for Belenenses. After starting his youth career at Barreirense, Goncalo Silva moved to Lousada before the start of the 2010/2011 season.
After making 28 appearances in the league for the club, the Portuguese defender joined Atletico Club de Portugal in the 2011/2012 season. In 2012 Goncalo Silva signed a deal with Braga B, but after scoring two goals in 83 appearances for the club, he joined his current club Belenenses in 2015.
The Portuguese footballer made his Primeira Liga debut in on October 26, 2015, in a 1-0 win over Uniao Madeira. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a right-back as well. Goncalo Silva has one cap for the Portugal U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Benfica):
Member of the ‘Big Three’ clubs in Portugal alongside FC Porto and CP Sporting, Sport Lisboa e Benfica are the football club that has never been relegated from the Primeira Liga. The club is nicknamed Aguias because of the Eagle symbol atop the club’s crest. Benfica play their home games at the Estadio da Luz which replaced the original one in 2003 and which boasts the capacity of more than 64,000. Arguably the most successful club in Portugal, Benfica have won a record of 35 Primeira Liga titles and also a record 25 Taca de Liga and 7 Taca da Liga trophies.
Two-time European Cup winners, Benfica are the club known for their diligent work with youth players, many of which went on to make great careers abroad. The most prominent players to wear a Benfica shirt are legendary Eusebio, Manuel Bento, Jorge Tavares and most recently Javier Saviola, Nuno Gomes, David Luiz and Angel Di Maria.
