Benfica are one of the main favorites to win this season the League 2022/2023 - the president Rui Costa invested a lot for this season, bought the amazing german coach Roger Schmidt that won titles in China, Austria and Germany and invested a lot in very good talents like Enzo Fernandez, Alexander Bah, Joao Victor, Ristic, the amazing winger David Neres, Petar Musa and will try until the last minutes of the market to buy Ricardo Horta from SC Braga. They made an amazing pre-season as expected with 5 wins in 5 games and already made one official match against Midtjylland for the Champions League qualification while their opponent made 0 official games so far. This game will be few days before the 2nd leg of Champions League in Denmark against Midtjylland but with the result they made in Estadio da Luz they are almost qualified, a clear win by 4-1 where Benfica created so many goal chances, they could have won like 7 or 8-1 easily and the goal they conceded was by penalty, a stupid mistake by the young centre-back Morato. In my opinion this 4-1 result is more than enough to rest the best players and go through and play the play-offs against Dynamo Kiev/Sturm Graz. They will play at home, an amazing stadium where the atmosphere is one of the best in Portugal and the tickets are almost full (around 90% with 1 day left) and the hype on Benfica this season is extremely big and I cannot see them not winning this game easily by 2 or 3 goals. The coach Roger Schmidt will play with the same team that destroyed the Danish team. Benfica have players in an amazing moment, Rafa the best player for sure and the fastest player of the league together with Godwin Saviour from Casa Pia, Goncalo Ramos who was a target from Paris SG that scored an hattrick in the last game against Midtjylland and the brazilian winger David Neres that was one of the best players of that Ajax in 2018.

Probable line-up: Odysseas Vlachodimos; Gilberto - Otamendi - Morato - Grimaldo; Florentino - Enzo Fernandez - David Neres - Rafa - Joao Mario; Goncalo Ramos.

Arouca kept the same coach Armando Evangelista who did solid seasons in Arouca. He was champion 2 consecutive years, putting Arouca from 3rd to the 1st division and in the last season where everyone thought that Arouca would be relegated easily they avoided it in the last game but trully deserved. The squad of the last season was very limited in terms of options and quality of the players and as expected the president together with the coach restructured the squad for this season 2022/2023 - the right-back and captain Thales Oleques decided to leave, centre-back Brunao left to join Leixoes, the midfielder Leandro Silva left, Eboue Kouassi signed for Genk and the best player and topscorer of the team joined Vitoria Guimaraes - Andre Silva. For this game, 2 of the best midfielders are injured and for sure will miss this 1st game of the season - David Simao the best midfielder they have in my opinion, very good left foot formed in Benfica and the experienced Pedro Moreira who was a starter in one of the best Rio Ave's of the last years (2015/2016). It will be very tough for them to handle this high pace and gegenpressing that Benfica are doing. The coach Armando Evangelista is a coach that always like to play and Arouca for sure won't waste time and will try to win the game and with the quality of Benfica's players this is almost impossible to do.

Probable line-up: Joao Valido; Tiago Esgaio - Joao Basso - Sema Velazque - Mateus Quaresma; Oriol Busquets - Alan Ruiz - Yaw Moses; Arsenio - Bukia and Rafa Mujica.

本菲卡是本赛季最有希望赢得2022/2023赛季联赛冠军的球队之一，鲁伊·科斯塔在本赛季投入了很多，他买了在中国、奥地利和德国赢得冠军的德国教练罗杰·施密特，并在恩佐·费尔南德斯、亚历山大·巴赫、若奥·维克多、里斯蒂奇、出色的边锋大卫·内雷斯、佩塔尔·穆萨等优秀人才上投入了很多，他将在转会市场的最后时刻从布拉加购买里卡多·奥尔塔。他们在季前赛中取得了令人惊讶的5场5胜的成绩，并且已经在欧冠资格赛中与米德日兰进行了一场正式比赛，而他们的对手到目前为止没有进行过正式比赛。这场比赛将是欧冠第二回合在丹麦对阵米德日兰的比赛，但他们在卢茨球场取得的成绩让他们几乎晋级，本菲卡以4比1的优势取得胜利，本菲卡创造了很多进球机会，他们本可以轻松地以7或8-1的比分取胜，而他们丢的那个球是点球，年轻中卫莫拉托的一个愚蠢的错误。在我看来，这个4比1的结果已经足够让最好的球员休息了，而且他们还能参加和基辅迪纳摩/格拉茨的附加赛。他们将在主场比赛，这是一个令人惊叹的球场，那里的气氛是葡萄牙最好的球场之一，门票几乎满了(剩下一天约90%)，本菲卡本赛季的宣传非常热烈，我不认为他们不会以2或3球轻松赢得这场比赛。罗杰·施密特(Roger Schmidt)教练将与摧毁丹麦队的那支球队同场竞技。本菲卡有球员处于令人惊叹的时刻，拉法无疑是最好的球员，也是联赛中速度最快的球员，此外还有来自卡萨皮亚的Godwin Saviour，在上一场对阵米德日兰的比赛中作为巴黎圣戈里的目标进球的Goncalo Ramos，以及巴西边锋David Neres，他是2018年阿贾克斯最好的球员之一。

阿鲁卡保留了同样的教练阿曼多·埃万杰利斯塔，他在阿鲁卡有稳定的赛季。他连续两年获得冠军，把阿鲁卡从第3级提升到第1级，在上个赛季，每个人都认为阿鲁卡会很容易降级，但他们在最后一场比赛中避免了，但这是实至名归的。上个赛季的阵容在球员选择和素质上都非常有限，正如预期的那样，总统和教练一起重组了本赛季的阵容——右后卫兼队长奥莱克克斯决定离开，中后卫布鲁瑙离开加盟莱克索斯，中场莱安德罗-席尔瓦离开，埃布埃-库阿西签约了根克，球队最好的球员和最佳射手加盟了维多利亚-吉马良斯-安德烈-席尔瓦。本场比赛，两名最好的中场球员受伤了，肯定会缺席本赛季的第一场比赛——大卫·西毛是我认为最好的中场球员，在本菲卡形成了很好的左脚，还有经验丰富的佩德罗·莫雷拉，他是过去几年(2015/2016)最好的里约热内卢Ave之一的首发球员。对于他们来说，处理本菲卡的高速度和压力将是非常困难的。主教练埃万杰利斯塔是一个总是喜欢比赛的教练，阿鲁卡肯定不会浪费时间，会努力赢得比赛，以本菲卡球员的素质，这几乎是不可能做到的。
