Match Time & Date:

01:00 PM
Prediction: 3-0
Estoril
Following a shocking 1-0 loss to Chaves, Benfica will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Primeira Liga when they host Estoril to their Estadio da Luz on Sunday evening. The Eagles are still leading the chase for the domestic trophy, but their bitter rivals Porto are now only two points behind them in the standings. Both Julian Draxler and Alexander Bah remain in the recovery room, while Serbia midfielder Mihailo Ristic is a major doubt. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Roger Schmidt has a full squad to choose from.
Os Canarinhos, on the other hand, are sitting in the danger zone, only three points clear of bottom three, and given their poor form, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. The good news for the visiting side is that midfielder Francisco Geraldes returns from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Alex Grimaldo):
Alex Grimaldo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Portuguese side Benfica as a left back. Born in Valencia on September 20, 1995, Grimaldo started his youth career at his hometown club FC Valencia, but in 2008 Barcelona scouts brought him to Camp Nou.
The 171-cm-tall footballer scored six goals in 92 appearances for Barca B before joining Primeira Liga club Benfica in the winter of 2015. Alex Grimaldo made his debut with the Eagles on January 26, 2016 in a 6-1 win at Moreirense in the Taca da Liga.

The Benfica defender has two caps for Spain U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a left winger as well.
