Benfica have won their last 11 away matches (Liga NOS). Vizela have drawn their last 5 matches (Liga NOS). Benfica have scored at least 2 goals in their last 11 away matches (Liga NOS). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Benfica's last 6 away games (Liga NOS). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Vizela's last 3 home games (Liga NOS).
FC Vizela got back to winning ways after six matches without victory, although it was against a third tier team. Álvaro Pacheco's men, however, have delivered fine performances and should be a tough bone to chew for SL Benfica. The 'Águias' were beaten 4-0 by FC Bayern on Wednesday. Despite the scoreline, they were able to deliver a decent performance until the 70th minute, when Sané scored the first goal. Prior to this match, Jorge Jesus' men put in a disappointing performance against CD Trofense, a second tier team, that forced SL Benfica into extra time in order to progress to the next round of the Portuguese Cup. The visitors lost their last league match to Portimonense SC at home and are in risk of being leapfrogged by either FC Porto or Sporting CP at the top of the table, which should increase pressure. However, they are used to this and should claim all the spoils on Sunday, even if by a narrow margin. 1:2
Cassiano went off inured against Vitória FC and is a doubt here. Schettine will lead the line if he fails to recover. Koffi Kouao received his fifth yellow card of the season against CD Santa Clara and will serve a match ban, which leaves the door open for Igor Julião to start at right-back. Alex Méndez put in a promising performance last weekend and will push for a start here. Rodrigo Pinho will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury. André Almeida picked up a muscular problem against Bayern and is a doubt here. Diogo Gonçalves might start as a result. Jorge Jesus should resist the chance to ring the changes here and will likely keep the same starting XI that faced Bayern with the exception of Diogo Gonçalves.
