September 10th features a match where Famalicão hosts Benfica at Estádio Municipal 22 De Junho in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Primeira Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, a perfect day for football. Famalicão is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Portimonense. Pedrão struck first for Portimonense in the 65th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Famalicão couldn’t manage to score, and Portimonense took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10, while in their last match, 1st placed Benfica, recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Maccabi Haifa. Rafa Silva struck first for Benfica in the 50th minute on a feed from Álex Grimaldo, then Álex Grimaldo added another in the 54th minute In the end, Maccabi Haifa was frustrated by Benfica’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Benfica ended the match with the shutout victory. Benfica looks to continue their winning ways, having 10 wins in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Benfica won the head to head battle with 1 win.
João Mário has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, hes scored 4 goals for Benfica.
