Prediction: 2-0
Vizela
Benfica will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on Vizela in the Primeira Liga round 22 on Sunday evening. The Eagles dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Vitoria Guimaraes, but this seems like a nice opportunity for the title hopefuls to get back on course in the national championship. Defender Juan Bernat is sidelined with a muscle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Os Vizelenses desperately needed a win against Gil Vicente and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their dreadful losing run, but they will have a mountain to climb in Sunday’s encounter. You should bear in mind that Benfica are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over Vizela in all competitions. To make things even worse for the away team, midfielder Sava Petrov is banned for the match.
