Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Benfica will look to keep their 100% record intact when they take on Pacos Ferreira at Estadio da Luz on Tuesday evening. The Eagles are determined to regain their Primeira Liga trophy, but seeing that the season is quite long, they need to keep making progress if they are to meet the goal. The capital club are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and you should know that they have yet to concede in the new domestic campaign.
Lucas Verissimo is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Pacos Ferreira, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team losing each of their first three games of the process. The visitors have yet to find the net in the new Primeira Liga campaign, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Benfica’s party in Lisbon. Both Matchoi Djalo and Adrian Butzke are banned for the match, speaking of the away side.
Highlighted Player (Haris Seferovic):
Haris Seferovic is a Swiss international who plays for Primeira Liga club Benfica as a forward. Born in Sursee, Switzerland, on February 22, 1992, Seferovic began his youth career at his hometown club Sursee. In 2004 he moved to Luzern, and he continued his football development at Grasshoppers from 2007 to 2009.
The 189-cm-tall attacker, whose preferred foot is left, made three appearances for the Grasshopper senior team before joining Fiorentina in 2010. Haris Seferovic played for the likes of Xamax, Lecce, and Novara on loan as well before signing a deal with Real Sociedad in the 2013/2014 season.
In the summer of 2014, the Swiss international moved to Eintracht Frankfurt, where he scored 16 goals in 86 appearances in the German top flight. Seferovic, who plays for Benfica nowadays, did well to win the Primeira Liga trophy with the Eagles in the 2018/2019 season. His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as a left winger as well.
