📋 Team News: Estrela Amadora
We are thinking that Estrela Amadora will probably line up in a 3-5-2 system for the game and select Marko Gudzulic, Ferro, Issiar Drame, Ruben Lima, Travassos, Alan Ruiz, Manuel Keliano, Paulo Moreira, Nilton Varela, Caio Santana and Rodrigo Pinho.
📋 Team News: Benfica
Benfica boss Bruno Lage has to currently contend with reduced team options. Renato Sanches (Muscle injury) and Tiago Gouveia (Knee injury) will not be playing here.
From our viewpoint, Benfica seem likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system, giving starts to Anatolii Trubin, Alexander Bah, Antonio Silva, Nicolas Otamendi, Alvaro Carreras, Leandro Barreiro, Florentino Luis, Orkun Kokcu, Angel Di Maria, Arthur Cabral and Kerem Akturkoglu.
✨ Prediction
We feel that Estrela Amadora certainly have the ability to score a goal against this Benfica outfit, but a single goal might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Our tip is for a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Benfica after 90 minutes. It should be a decent one.
