Boavista
The team has not been very brilliant lately. Last season, the Chess team finished in 15th place, and this season, most likely, they would have a similar simple task – to survive in the elite division of the country. After all, there are financial problems that caused the transfer bath. Currently, two goalkeepers have injured their crosses at the same time. As a result, teenager Tome Soza did not play, and they managed to re-sign Cesar, who was discarded in the summer as unnecessary. In such conditions, to take at least some glasses is already a feat. And it turns out: the season even started with a victory on the Casa Pia field, and in the final round, after a couple of defeats, they managed to draw with Estoril and Estrela – by the way, they already had to play Soza with the latter and finished 2:2.
Benfica
In 2022, the club invited Roger Schmidt. He quickly justified his trust by leading his wards to the playoffs of the Champions League. And, most importantly, he was able to win the Premier League with his wards. But the next cycle turned out to be unsuccessful in all directions: they were quickly eliminated from the fight both in the Euroarena and in the cup format, and in the championship they lost the title to Sporting. But the German was given another chance. But in the first four rounds of the Premier League, the team managed to lose to Famalican and end up in a draw with Moreirense. And the coaching reassignment took place: at the beginning of September, Bruno Lager returned to the position. And his re-debut ended with a 4-1 rout of Santa Clara. In the framework of the Champions League, Red Stars scored twice in the first half hour, eventually leading to a 2:1 victory.
Statistics of personal meetings
In general, the eagles have a noticeable advantage. But last season the teams exchanged victories.
