Benfica vs Gil Vicente
Benfica just proved that they should have sacked Roger Schmidt since last season but they didn't want to pay the release clause and that costed them the beginning of the season with poor results and performances but since they sacked their Coach and a familiar Coach of the house came in Bruno Lage we are seen a Benfica team at a complete different level and also their results have matched their performances. Under Coach Bruno Lage they started with a good 4:1 home win over Santa Clara, than in the Champions League they won 2:1 on the road against Crvena Zvezda and the next game they beat Boavista on the road by 3:0 and playing well most of the time, like we haven't seen Benfica do in the last season and beginning of the season. The reason for their success now is their Coach but also the enviroment around the club is way better but since the Coach has put the players in their rightful position Benfica has been solid a good, it's funny to see Kokcu playing in his natural position and has already make a huge difference on the pitch, something we never saw in the last season because the Coach never put him in his natural position but also overall the squad is united and dominating their opponents now and I expect the same to happen here at home against Gil Vicente.
For this game Benfica is likely to be without Gouveia. Bah and Sanches are also listed has doubtful.
Gil Vicente lost their season opener to Porto on the road by 0:3 but since then, they never lost a game against, 4 draws and 1 win. Even they haven't lost since that Porto game their performances haven't been that good in my eyes, in some of those draws they could have lost and especially their attack is having a hard time to create scoring chances and now on the road against a good team I see them struggling a lot, especially against this version of Benfica under Coach Lage. I remember that game against Porto on the road, they lost 0:3 but it could have been by more and they got dominated by a Porto team who in my opinion has a worst squad than Benfica and I believe Gil Vicente will have here a very hard time again.
For this game Gil Vicente is likely to be without Caseres and Sithole.
I would never go with Benfica here if this would have been the first game of the season under Coach Roger Schmidt and were the enviroment around the squad was just awful but now since Coach Bruno Lage got to Benfica they have been playing really well, very offensive and solid and also the team spirit is really good, you can see them smile again and looking like a real team and united team and their attack since Bruno Lage has put the players in the right spot has been creating easily scoring chances and more important they have been scoring a lot of goals too, 9 in their last 3 games and with some big misses in between, they could have scored more. For Benfica it's simple, if they wanna dream with the league title they can't afford to lose more points to Sporting and I don't believe they will here at home, I expect Benfica to dominate this Gil Vicente team and beat them by 3:0 or 3:1.
Good Luck
本菲卡vs吉尔·维森特
本菲卡刚刚证明了他们应该从上赛季开始解雇罗杰·施密特,但他们不想支付解约条款,这让他们在赛季初的成绩和表现都很糟糕,但自从他们解雇了他们的教练,一位熟悉的教练来到了布鲁诺·拉赫,我们看到了一支完全不同水平的本菲卡球队,他们的成绩也与他们的表现相匹配。在布鲁诺·拉赫的带领下,他们在主场以4:1大胜圣克拉拉,在欧冠联赛中客场2:1战胜茨韦兹达,在接下来的比赛中客场3:0战胜博阿维斯塔,大部分时间都打得很好,就像我们在上个赛季和赛季初没有看到本菲卡那样。他们现在成功的原因是他们的教练,但俱乐部周围的环境也好多了,但由于教练把球员们放在了他们应有的位置上,本菲卡一直很稳固,很有趣的是,看到科库在他自然的位置上踢球,他已经在球场上做出了巨大的改变。这是我们在上个赛季从未见过的,因为教练从来没有把他放在他的自然位置上,但总的来说,球队现在很团结,统治着他们的对手,我希望在主场对阵吉尔·维森特时也会发生同样的事情。
本场比赛本菲卡可能没有古维亚。巴和桑切斯是否也上市有疑问。
吉尔·维森特本赛季首战客场0:3输给了波尔图,但从那以后,他们从未输过一场比赛,4平1胜。即使他们在与波尔图的比赛后没有输过球,在我看来他们的表现也不是很好,在一些平局中他们可能会输,特别是他们的进攻很难创造得分机会,现在在客场对阵一支优秀的球队时,我看到他们挣扎了很多,尤其是面对拉赫教练下的本菲卡。我记得那场客场对阵波尔图的比赛,他们以0:3输掉了比赛,但他们本可以输得更多,他们被波尔图控制了,在我看来,波尔图的阵容比本菲卡还要糟糕,我相信吉尔·维森特在这里会再次经历一段非常艰难的时光。
在这场比赛中,吉尔·维森特很可能没有卡塞雷斯和西索尔。
如果这是本菲卡在罗杰·施密特教练的带领下的第一场比赛,如果球队周围的环境很糟糕,我永远不会和本菲卡在一起,但是自从布鲁诺·拉奇教练来到本菲卡后,他们踢得很好,非常有攻击性,很稳定,团队精神也很好。你可以看到他们再次微笑,看起来像一支真正的球队,像一支团结的球队,他们的进攻,因为布鲁诺·拉赫把球员放在了正确的位置,创造了很容易得分的机会,更重要的是,他们也进了很多球,在最近的3场比赛中有9个进球,中间有一些大失误,他们本可以进更多的球。对于本菲卡来说,这很简单,如果他们想要梦想联赛冠军,他们就不能再输给里斯本竞技了,我不相信他们在主场会这样,我希望本菲卡能统治这支吉尔·维森特的球队,并以3:0或3:1击败他们。
祝你好运
