Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-0
Guimaraes
After surviving Gil Vicente in the last league match, Benfica will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on surprising league leaders Vitoria Guimaraes at their Estadio da Luz. The Eagles are determined to defend their trophy and a win over Guimaraes could see them climb to top position in the standings. Defender David Jurasek is sidelined with injury, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Paulo Turra’s troops, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record in the 2023/2024 season intact, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s encounter. In their last encounter in Lisbon Benfica crushed Guimaraes 5-1, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Afonso Freitas limped off with injury in the last league match, with Nelson Luz likely to step up.
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.
