Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Estoril
Benfica will look to bounce back from an embarrassing 5-0 loss to Porto when they welcome Estoril to their Estadio da Luz on Sunday evening. The Eagles are one point behind their bitter local rivals Sporting in the standings and seeing that the Lions have one game in hand, Roger Schmidt’s men face a must-win situation against Estoril. Juan Bernat remains in the recovery room, but Schmidt has no fresh injury worries ahead of Matchday 25.
Os Canarinhos, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Vitoria Guimaraes and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Benfica’s party in Lisbon. All Pedro Alvaro, Jordan Holsgrove, and Erick Cabaco are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last encounter in the capital of Portugal Benfica defeated Estoril 1-0 thanks to Nicolas Otamendi’s goal.
Highlighted Player (Angel di Maria):
Angel Di Maria is a professional footballer who played for Argentine side Rosario Central at the start of his senior career. The left-footed winger is very quick on the ball and he often makes life difficult for opposition defenders. After playing for Benfica between 2007 and 2010, the Argentine superstar signed for Real Madrid on 28 June, 2010 for a fee of €25 million + €11 million in bonuses.
Despite impressing with los Blancos in the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, the club chiefs decided to sell him to Manchester United on 26 August, 2014. Di Maria was playing below expectations at Old Trafford and he scored three goals in 27 league games for the Red Devils.
In 2015 he moved to Paris Saint-Germain and he scored 10 goals in 29 league appearances for les Parisiens in the 2015/2016 Ligue 1 campaign. In 2014 he won the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid and that is considered the biggest success of his career. Angel Di Maria was born in Rosario on 14 February, 1988.
