Vizela vs Benfica Prediction & Betting Tips (8 February)

Red lantern and not a victory for 10 successive days, this is how to summarize the last weeks of competition for the locals who will welcome the reigning Portuguese champion and current leader. Last weekend, Vizela conceded a fourth defeat in a row on his lawn for the arrival of the well-ranked Guimaraes 0-1.

Rather important in the midfield, the Spanish midfielder, Pedro Ortiz (loaned for the season from Sevilla FC) is injured and will probably be the only player absent from Vizela. Author of 9 pawns in the championship, the Frenchman, Samuel Essende (on loan from Caen for the season) should make his return to the scoresheet while boys like Samu (3 pawns) and Soro (2 goals in the championship) should be there. systematically.

On the Benfica side, again and again the same absences to note with Juan Bernat (loaned for the season from PSG) and Tengstedt (3 goals in 11 appearances at the start of the season). Note, however, the return of Bah for two games (right back) while the main players will also be in the game, in this case, Di Maria (7 goals, 4 assists in the championship), the top scorer of the squad in the championship, Rafa Silva (8 pawns, 9 patties) or the center forwards, Musa (5 goals) and Marcos Leonardo (arrived this winter in the form of a transfer).
