Match Overview
Benfica take on Casa Pia at the Estadio da Luz in the Liga Portugal on 28 October. The visiting side have not been at the top level for long, and it remains to be seen how they fare against the power of Benfica. The home team know the conditions better than the opponents and can be expected to put up a stellar showing in both defence and attack.
Key Highlights
There have been a total of three games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which Benfica have, unsurprisingly, won all. Casa Pia have never drawn or won a game against Benfica in the past, and one can hardly expect them to change this in this game on Saturday. Benfica have a big advantage, and one can expect them to capitalise on it.
Injury Report
Angel di Maria is the only player of Benfica who is not available for selection in this game owing to a muscle injury. Casa Pia, however, will have to make do without Rafael Brito and Kiki.
Prediction
Casa Pia have scored just 4 goals in their last 5 matches. This means that they have not quite been at their best in front of goal this season. On the other hand, their goalkeeper Ricardo Batista is ranked 2 in saves per match in the competition (4.5). Benfica appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game and should do so comfortably.
