Benfica Lisbon:
After a very weak restart this season, Benfica had to be content with second place in the Primeira Liga as mentioned. Finally, the shape curve pointed upwards again. The impetus for the upswing was set by the change of coach a few weeks ago.
Things have been going better since Nelson Verissimo took over the coaching chair among the eagles: four wins and one draw as a record confirm this assessment. Above all, the offensive was revived under his direction – more than two goals per game could be achieved in this review per game.
A personal example is provided by Confederate Haris Seferovic, who scored two of his five goals this season in the last three rounds of the Primeira Liga. The best player of the season in the person of Pizzi recently turned up just as intensely: in three of the five games under Verissimo, the 30-year-old got involved.
With 18 goals, the Portuguese won the crown of the top scorer together with his Brazilian striker Carlos Vinicius and Iranian Mehdi Taremi from Rio Ave. His exceptional position this season results not only from his danger of scoring, but also because of his exceptionally high pass quality.
Given his great condition, the odds for another hit by Benfica Lisbon and Porto are also given value by him.
FC Porto:
Porto has now developed an endgame phobia: Last year, the champions fell against Sporting after a penalty shootout. A game that was also observed in 2016 when you had to bend Braga. The Taca de Portugal has not been won since 2011.
Also in the league cup, which has been taking place in parallel since 2007, the nervousness of the blue and whites in the final matches became clear. The final was reached four times and lost every time! The dragons also arrive with a negative experience. On the last day of the match, they lost 1-2 in the match at Braga.
This ended a series of six victories for Coach Sergio Conceicao’s team. To make matters worse, the 29-time champion saw two absences. In the upcoming match, the two Colombians Mateus Uribe are missing, scored the only goal of his team in Braga, as well as Luis Luis Diaz due to injuries in midfield.
