Prediction: 3-0
Tondela
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Santa Clara, Benfica will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Tondela at their Estadio da Luz. The Eagles failed to impress in their last league match, but it has to be noted that the pitch condition was anything but good. Benfica are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and despite the fact that they were hit by coronavirus, home win should be considered.
All Ferreira, Jardel, Ramos, and Seferovic have been tested positive for the new virus. Tondela, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. The Yellow-Greens are on a three-game losing run on the road in all competitions, and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in Sunday’s clash.
