Match Overview
Benfica and Chaves meet each other in a match in the Liga Portugal at the Estadio da Luiz on March 29. The visiting side have an uphill task on their hands, and it will not be easy for them by any means to compete with the home team's strong defensive unit. Benfica know that they have the upper hand in this game and will want to pick up all three points.
Key Highlights
One must not forget that Benfica are ranked 2nd in goals scored per match (2.3 goals). Their defensive unit too has been on top of their game throughout as they have kept the most number of clean sheets in the competition (13). Their star attacker Rafa Silva is ranked 1 in big chances created in the competition (18), and this should give them a lot of confidence.
Injury Report
While Antonio Silva has been suspended, Juan Bernat has been ruled out of this game for Benfica. Chaves do not have any injured players of their own.
Prediction
Ranked 15 in goals scored per match (1 goal), Chaves have not won an away game in their last 10 matches. They have also scored just 5 goals in their last 5 matches, which means that their attacking unit has not been at their best this season. Benfica are the downright favourites to win this game, and we expect them to win it comfortably.
