Benfica are steaming ahead towards the title as they maintain the 10-point advantage over second-placed FC Porto. The next stop is Rio Ave and a match I expect the visitors to deal with ease. This will be a great warm-up for the away team as they are facing FC Porto next week in a potential title-decider. Therefore, a triumph here would be a great tailwind for the Lisbon outfit.

For this clash, Draxler, Ristic and Goncalo Guedes are sidelined. Some players such as Florentino might be rested, while Aursnes is returning to the starting XI to provide some freshness against Rio Ave. Even with a mixed squad, Benfica can beat the hosts with ease.

Rio Ave are coming off the 2-0 victory over Santa clara, but against the big Portuguese three, it leaves a lot to be desired. Big teams always struggle against the big favorites. The tactical and physical superiority always prevail in favor of the major Portuguese sides.

Furthermore, Benfica will be flying high after the CL quarter-final victory over Club Bruges. With the opposition being weaker than ever, this team can even make a run for the title in CL! The visitors are looking absolutely unstoppable which is higlighted by their away record - an insane 10 wins from 12 games! During the aforementioned 14 away games, Benfica conceded only 4 goals. This is beyond impressive and Benfica can be vastly proud by this performance.

I expect to see another commanding performance from Benfica here. A controlled gameflow and possession, a clear advantage in the attack bringing an early goal, and smooth sailing towards beating the handicap.

本菲卡正朝着冠军的方向前进，他们保持着对排名第二的波尔图10分的优势。下一站是里约热内卢大街，我希望客队能轻松应对这场比赛。这对客场的球队来说将是一个很好的热身，因为他们下周将在一场潜在的冠军决胜局中对阵波尔图。因此，在这里的胜利将是里斯本车队的一大利好。

在这场冲突中，德拉克斯勒、里斯蒂克和冈卡洛·格德斯将离场。一些球员，如弗洛伦蒂诺可能会被休息，而奥斯内斯将回到首发阵容中，为对阵里约热内卢的比赛提供一些新鲜感。即使是混合阵容，本菲卡也能轻松击败东道主。

Ave以2-0战胜圣克拉拉，但面对葡萄牙三巨头，还有很多需要改进的地方。强队总是与热门球队竞争。战术和身体上的优势总是有利于葡萄牙的主要球队。

此外，本菲卡将在欧冠四分之一决赛战胜布鲁日俱乐部后昂首阔步。由于对手比以往任何时候都弱，这支队伍甚至可以在CL中争夺冠军!客队看起来是绝对不可阻挡的，这从他们的客场战绩就可以看出来——12场比赛赢了10场!在上述的14场客场比赛中，本菲卡只丢了4球。这是令人印象深刻的，本菲卡可以为这样的表现感到骄傲。

我期待看到本菲卡在这里的另一场精彩表现。控制住了比赛流程和控球权，在进攻中明显的优势带来了一个早期的进球，顺利地战胜了障碍。
