Eagles Fall Behind in Liga Portugal
Benfica went unbeaten in their opening 13 matches this season which includes an eight game winning streak. The highlight was a 7-0 win at Casa Pia where Vangelis Pavlidis hit a hat-trick.
The Eagles made a winning start in the Europa League, earning a 2-0 victory at AC Milan. Dodi Lukébakio and Jakub Kaminski scored to register their first win against the Italian club.
Marco Silva’s side lost 3-1 at Porto before the international break. They were 1-0 down when Clément Lenglet was sent off, Alexander Bah equalising but unable to stop the champions.
Scoring Woes for Guimaraes
Guimaraes have been struggling this season, their only win coming in a 1-0 home victory over Nacional. They have scored only five goals.
Tiago Margarido’s side lost 2-1 at Academico Viseu in their previous road trip. They had 22-10 shots and 2.23-1.86 xG, conceding the second goal in added time.
Vitoria fell behind against Moreirense last time out. Toni Borevkovic equalised in the 95th minute which could have been enough to save Margarido from being sacked.
