Dener is the leading goal scorer for Portimonense with 4 goals, while Boa Morte and Jadson included 3 goals each. Boa Morte additionally included 4 assists.
Portimonense is one of the weakest teams in Primeira Liga, and nobody was anticipating that they should be anyplace else however in the relegation zone. Defensively, Portimonense isn’t terrible, however, the absence of the offense is their most serious issue, and without that, Portimonense has an extremely hard assignment to remain in the Primeira Liga.
Portimonense pulled off a remarkable outcome in their first match back after the break as they beat Gil Vicente 1-0 to get their first triumph in the wake of going 13 matches without a success in all competitions to give them some expectation in their battle against the drop.
That success moves them six points behind the teams above them yet they will be desperate to follow that up now and they won’t be dismayed by the visit of this Benfica side who are stuttering themselves.
They can welcome back Pedro Sa and Bruno Costa following suspension so the duo will add to coach Paulo Sergio’s options for this match even though the manager will without a doubt be enticed to name something near an unchanged side after that success even though the previous is a key man and should locate a beginning spot.
Portimonense registered a vital success in their last game, beating Gil Vicente for their first win in 13 league matches. Regardless of that, they stay six points below the safety zone and this game against Benfica ends up being another crucial game.
In their last 13 league matches, Portimonense have not scored more than one goal in a game and they just have three clean sheets in 15 matches. They have been powerless in both attack and defense, which has left them with only three successes from 25 matches, a minimal number of wins in the whole league. They are likewise the side with the least goals scored (17) and will have a daunting assignment against the league leaders, who hit the 4-0 in the first leg.
Two of their three successes in the season have come at home; maybe this would give Portimonense some catalyst. However, looked the background of two home successes in 12 matches, it doesn’t paint an awesome picture. The way that they have failed to score in three of their last five home league matches additionally leaves them as underdogs in front of this game. In nine matches across all competitions, Portimonense have overseen only one win over Benfica.
Benfica has taken over the top of the Primeira Liga, yet scarcely. Benfica now has 4 straight draws, and deciding by their latest match, Benfica isn’t playing in a decent form, particularly in the attacking end. Benfica and Porto are tied at the top with 60 points, yet Benfica has a better goal differential and that is the reason they are in the first place.

Carlos Vinicius has score 15 goals and is Benfica’s top goal scorer, while Pizzi included 14 goals. Benfica isn’t in a decent form, yet them taking over the first spot will unquestionably positively affect players and will help Benfica to escape this drought.

Benfica could just deal with a draw at home to Tondela the last break which was their fourth sequential draw in all competitions and despite that moving them back to the top of the league, the team bus was stoned after the game and the places of a few players were vandalized.
Despite Julian Weigl and Andrija Zivkovic supposedly being harmed in the bus attack both are relied upon to be fit to highlight here with the only question mark over youthful full-back David Tavares who might not be required to have an impact at any rate.
In the wake of failing to break Tondela, supervisor Bruno Lage might be enticed to move Taarabt once more into central midfield to the expense of Weigl, and bring either Seferovic or Dyego Sousa to partner Carlos Vinicius up top.
Benfica are detesting the best of times. They are joint top with FC Porto after their 0-0 draw with Tondela, this vigorously helped with Porto’s loss to Famalicao. From the opening matches after the league’s restart, just one of the top seven teams dealt with a success – Famalicao.
The draw with Tondela denoted a fourth consecutive winless game for Benfica across all competitions however they are unbeaten in the last five matches. It was likewise the first clean sheet for them in four matches.
Two clean sheets in their last seven league matches mean a worry in the Benfica defence and the way that they have only one win in their last six matches should stress them much more. Notwithstanding, this concern is for the most part because of the nearby competition with FC Porto, and not Portimonense who they have beaten in six of their nine meetings.
