Benfica :
The club Benfica Lisbon has been in the last years the measure of the things in Portuguese professional football. This was not the case during this season, so the team of coach Rui Vitoria secured the championship again on the penultimate day. Benfica Lisbon with Vitoria Guimaraes interestingly on the 33rd match the next opponent in the Taca de Portugal to guest. In the league, Benfica Lisbon had no problems at all with Guimaraes, who eased the Adler 5-0 home. At the same time, the team from Benfica left no doubt of a home win from the outset and were already in the lead with a 4-0 victory after an incredible storm.
In the second round, Benfica hit Lisbon a bit more quietly and contented themselves with a further goal from Jonas to the 5: 0 final score by penalty. Last weekend the Portuguese champions had to compete again at Boavista. There, too, Benfica Lisbon showed a solid performance despite their joy at winning the championship, and after a 2-0 defeat by Kostas Mitroglou and Branimir Kalaica, they still won a 2-2 draw. In the Portuguese Cup Benfica had to do with the GD Estoril in the semi-finals, and the Adler had a 2-1 win in the away game, giving a 3: 3 draw to the final in the home leg of the Estadio da Luz Of the Taca de Portugal.

Guimaraes :
The supporters of Vitoria Guimares are certainly more than satisfied with the current season. Finally, the team from the north of Portugal landed in the past season only on the 10th place in the Primeira League and so the jump to the 4th table place at the end of the current season was fantastic. In the end, the team of coach Pedro Martins brought a total of 18 wins and 8 draws in the league, while on the other hand, only 8 defeats lamented. Guimaraes were already relaxed in the last few games of the current season because Vitoria Guimaraes had already qualified directly for the group stage in the Europa League.
The club’s leaders should not have been so enthusiastic as the team showed off at the 5-0 defeat at Benfica Lisbon on the penultimate day. After all, this clear defeat with regard to the upcoming cup final, where you will meet again on Benfica, certainly not been optimal. Also in the last home game against CD Feirense Guimaraes could not convince and had to end up in the end with 1: 0. In the Portuguese final, Vitoria Guimaraes will be in the game as the team have been able to get through to the semi-finals without any major problems against GD Chaves.
The coach Pedro Martins has already done a great job with his team this season and has taken the 4th place in the Portuguese league. In addition, Guimaraes can now hope to win the Taca de Portugal.
Provisional lineup: Douglas; Konan, Sa, Pedrao, Gaspar; Miranda, Zungu; Hernani, Hurtado, Marega; Texeira
