Friday at 23:00 at the “Estadio da Luz” in Lisbon, Benfica set to meet on Chaves, in a duel of round number 23 of the Primeira Liga.
Benfica
Benfica comes after ten days of football at the highest level, succeeding in this interval to dispose of Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the first leg of the knockout round of the Champions League. Also with the same score won, but the Primeira Liga in the previous stage and in front of Braga.
This result made the Benfica goal to be received no games played in February and thus maintain its top position in the domestic championship with 54 points. Followed by FC Porto, who was in second place one point behind Benfica have home field advantage on its side, is one of two teams unbeaten in front of their supporters, adunad 29 points from 33 possible. Moreover, Benfica is the team with the best attack in the Primeira Liga, 48 goals, 31 of them at the “Estadio da Luz.”
Chaves
On the other side, Chaves made a season exceeded expectations and morale is high, because in the last round made the most of his land imposing 2-0 in front of Arouca. And because of this success, it climbed to 7th place with 32 points. However, given that it is to play away in front of the leader, is a real problem.
Chaves on foreign land has collected 11 points along confrontations this season, but his last victory dates back five months, when Chaves win in front of Arouca, the first leg 1-0.
Probable teams:
Benfica (4-4-1-1): Moraes – Nelsinho – Luisao – Lindelof – Eliseu – Zivkovic – Fejs – Pizzi – Salvio – Rafa – Mitroglou
Chaves (4-2-3-1): Filipe – Queirós – Massaia – Coelho – Nelson – Bressan – Tiba – Perdigao – Braga – Martins – Lopes
Benfica is unbeaten in front of Chaves 20 years, during which time they met three times, each time were those imposed in Lisbon. Obviously, Benfica is the better team, but considering that it comes after a very busy period, I am inclined to believe that the show may be missing and the number of goals barrier should not exceed three.
