Prediction
- Benfica bounced back from a poor run of results with a win over Aves last time out. The youngster that have impressed in recent matches will stay in the team as Vitoria looks to inject fresh blood into the starting XI.
- Feirense secured an important win over Rio Ave despite not playing well. Manta’s men are very well drilled defensively and will do anything to grab a point here. Having already come close to stopping Sporting this season, Benfica cannot take them lightly on Friday.
