Arouca made his debut this season in European competitions and although they were eliminated by Olympiakos and have been at the gates of the Europa League group stage they did the Greeks sweat once took the match into extra time in Greece. If Lito Vidigal has been more ambitious in 1st hand perhaps Arouca could have passed there next stage of the competition.
Benfica is still trying to stabilize after the madness that was the transfer market. Some important people left the clube like Gaitan and Renato Sanches. They stepped up as well but until the reinforcements begin to acclimatise, that will still take time but when everything is in place we can wait a very solid team with many options that can be called at any time.
One of the market novels in Portugal had a happy ending Rafa Silva European champion and former Braga finally signed for Benfica. The player expressed contentment for negotiations have come to a successful conclusion and Benfica is the club where Rafa wanted to play. His arrival give more options to Rui Vitria since he can play both on the left as you can play him in the position normally Jonas do and that has been a big headache this season start. The Brazilian who was the top scorer last season has been having many physical problems and Rui Vitria has not agreed with the stiker substitute.
This match was anticipated due to the presence of Benfica in the Champions League. Usually this kind of games are complicated to Benfica. This season Benfica has had major problems to unlock matches, then almost out of nowhere come the goals. I believe that this game will not have many goals, Jimenez and Jonas are injured, and Mitroglou is in doubt for this game. The surprise can even be the inclusion of Rafa in the starting lineup with almost no training done with the team.
