Benfica comes really motivated for this match after a home win, by 6-0, against Maritimo. Pizzi, Jiménez, Jonas and Talisca scored the goals of victory. Luisão, Salvio, Silvio and Nelson Semedo won’t be able to contribute to their team because they are injured. Benfica has become quite well from the psychic point of view, despite some handlings don’t be as well achieved. For this match, Pizzi and Jonas may have an extra motivation for having scored twice in the previous match.
