Recap
After the defeat against Porto in the last round, Benfica lost theoretical chance for the 2nd place, and today coach VerÃssimo announced a lot of rotations in the squad. He will give a chance to several youngsters from the B team, with debutants like of midfielder Martim Neto and winger Diego Moreira, who recently wins the Youth League. Sandro Cruz and Tiago Gouveia, who had already been called up and used against MarÃtimo. Out of the squad are Vlachodimos (32/0 first goalkeeper), Nunez (28/26 top scorer), Goncalo Ramos (29/7 suspended), Grimaldo (29/5), Weigl (29/2 suspended), Rafa (28/8), Otamendi (28/0), Everton (27/3), Lucas Verissimo (10/3), Seferovic (10/3), and Radonjic (6/0).
Ferreira secured their place in the league, and is winless in the last 4 matches. They also have some key absence like Zé Uilton (33/1), Nuno Santos (31/5), Antunes (30/3), Delgado (30/2), and Maracás (24/0), but I believe that we will watch an exiting match with goals on both sides.
