Chaves
Benfica
- On loan from Benfica, Hamdou Elhouni won't be an option this weekend due to the terms in his loan agreement.
- João Mário's pace on the counter may be preferred over Fabio Martins, while Perdigão is in great form and will start on the opposite wing.
- Benfica are likely to stick with the XI that beat Braga comfortably on Monday.
- With Jonas and Raul Jimenez iinjured, Goncalo Guedes and Kostas Mitroglu are still expected to start up top.
Benfica to win. Chaves isn't theorically a complicated team and haven't had enough experience in the first division to pull a surprising result here.
