Benfica

David faces Goliath at Estadio Jose Gomes as Estrela take on Portuguese giants Benfica in Taca de Portugal last 16. Estrela set up a meeting with Benfica by beating the likes of Sao Roque, Lusitano, Farense, and Anadia, but they face an uphill task in Tuesday’s football match. Benfica are eyeing their first Portuguese Cup trophy since 2016/17 season, and we are positive that they will give 100% to go all the way in the competition.

The Eagles recorded a routine 2-0 win over Tondela at the weekend, and even though boss Jorge Jesus is likely to rest key players in the Taca de Portugal clash, away win should be considered. Both Ferreira and Jardel have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Almeida and Gabriel remain in the recovery room for the visitors. Anyhow, anything but a routine away win would be a major surprise.
