Benfica are in a very bad moment this season, they invested a lot to give Jorge Jesus the players that he wanted but after some bad results the president Rui Costa decided to sack him due a conflict between Jorge Jesus and the players. After that, Nelson Verissimo from Benfica B assumed the team and he only made 3 games so far and those 3 games were really poor by Benfica. The first was against Pacos de Ferreira where they won 2-0 but because Pacos got reduced to 10 men since the minute 30 and at that moment the score was 0-0 and Benfica didn't create a single goal chance, then they conceded a home draw by 1-1 against Moreirense where they had some important absences in the midfielder and the last game was against Arouca where they won 1-0 but they didn't deserve to win against a team that was in a terrible shape, they only scored the 1st goal by Penalty, then Joao Basso from Arouca missed a penalty that could give them the 1-1 and Benfica scored the 2nd goal in the 90th minute. This final four of League Cup will be played in a neutral city, in Leiria so there is no home factor for those 3 matches (2 semi-finals and the final). Benfica have 2 very important absences, the centre-back Otamendi (the captain) and the best centre-back from the squad and their best player at the moment as he is the topscorer from the team Darwin Nunez as they are both in their countries, Argentina and Uruguay respectively. I believe that this game will be really tough for Benfica as Boavista are one of the most organized teams in the league.

Probable line-up: Helton Leite; Lazaro - Morato - Vertonghen - Grimaldo; Weigl - Joao Mario - Paulo Bernardo; Rafa - Everton and Yaremchuk.

Boavista are the team from the league that improved more after the decision to change the coach. After some bad results the president decided to sack Joao Pedro Sousa and they brought Petit who was one of the most important players of the history of Boavista as he was the captain when Boavista won the league for the only time in their history. He knows everything about the club, the supporters really love him and he brought the important mystique of the club back. Since he arrived in Boavista he only lost 1 game in 7 and was against the champion in title Sporting CP. They are one of the most organized teams in the league defensively and offensively have some talent to make the difference. They have some absences for this game, specially the best player Jackson Porozo and Tiago Ilori who keeps injured. But they played without these 2 players against Tondela recently at home and they gave an amazing response, they drew 1-1 but they created so many chances and just conceded 2 goal chances to Tondela in the whole game. What I expect for this game is Boavista very solid defensively and creating a lot of problems to Benfica in counters. Probably we can expect Gorre in the starting XI after the amazing goal he scored in the last game against Pacos de Ferreira. They have 3 players in amazing moment, the midfielder Sebastian Perez who has an incredible talent and passing skills and recovered that level when he was international for Colombia, the winger Gustavo Sauer who is the most important player of the team as he has the dribbling skills, amazing shot from outside the box and the striker Musa who is probably the best striker in the last 15 years playing for Boavista.

Probable line-up: Alireza; Reggie Cannon - Nathan - Abascal - Filipe Ferreira - Hamache; Makouta - Sebastian Perez; Kenji Gorre - Gustavo Sauer and Petar Musa.

本菲卡本赛季处于非常糟糕的时刻，他们投入了大量资金来为豪尔赫·热苏斯提供他想要的球员，但在一些糟糕的结果之后，由于豪尔赫·热苏斯和球员之间的冲突，主席鲁伊·科斯塔决定解雇他。在那之后，本菲卡B队的尼尔森维里西莫接手了球队，到目前为止他只打了3场比赛，这3场比赛本菲卡的表现真的很差。第一次是对阵帕科斯·德·费雷拉，他们以 2-0 获胜，但由于帕科斯从第 30 分钟开始减少到 10 人，而当时比分是 0-0，而本菲卡没有创造任何进球机会，然后他们丢了一个主场 1-1 战平莫雷伦斯，他们在中场出现了一些重要的缺席，最后一场比赛是对阵阿鲁卡，他们以 1-0 获胜，但他们不配战胜一支状态糟糕的球队，他们只第90分钟，阿鲁卡打进第1球，阿鲁卡的若奥巴索罚丢点球，1-1，本菲卡打进第2球。这联赛杯的四强将在中立城市莱里亚进行，因此这 3 场比赛（2 场半决赛和决赛）没有主场因素。本菲卡有两次非常重要的缺席，中后卫奥塔门迪（队长）和球队中最好的中后卫和他们目前最好的球员，因为他是达尔文努涅斯队的最佳射手，因为他们都在他们的国家，分别是阿根廷和乌拉圭。我相信这场比赛对本菲卡来说将非常艰难，因为博阿维斯塔是联盟中最有组织的球队之一。

博阿维斯塔是联盟中在决定更换教练后进步更大的球队。在一些糟糕的结果之后，总统决定解雇若昂·佩德罗·索萨，他们带来了佩蒂特，他是博阿维斯塔历史上最重要的球员之一，因为他是博阿维斯塔历史上唯一一次赢得联赛冠军的队长。他了解俱乐部的一切，球迷们真的很爱他，他带回了俱乐部的重要神秘面纱。自从他来到博阿维斯塔以来，他在 7 场比赛中只输了 1 场比赛，并且在冠军体育 CP 中对阵冠军。他们是联盟中防守和进攻上最有组织的球队之一，他们有一些天赋可以发挥作用。他们有一些缺席这场比赛，特别是最好的球员杰克逊波罗佐和蒂亚戈伊洛里一直受伤。但是他们最近在主场对阵通德拉的比赛中没有这两名球员，他们给出了惊人的回应，他们1-1战平，但他们创造了很多机会，只丢了2个球整场比赛给通德拉的机会。我对这场比赛的期望是博阿维斯塔的防守非常稳固，并且在反击方面给本菲卡制造了很多问题。在上一场对阵帕科斯·德·费雷拉的比赛中打入惊人的进球后，我们可能可以期待戈尔在首发阵容中的表现。他们有 3 名球员在令人惊叹的时刻，中场球员塞巴斯蒂安佩雷斯拥有令人难以置信的天赋和传球技巧，并在他为哥伦比亚国家队效力时恢复了那个水平，边锋古斯塔沃绍尔是球队中最重要的球员，因为他有运球技巧，惊人的禁区外射门和前锋穆萨，他可能是过去15年为博阿维斯塔效力的最佳前锋。
