Benfica vs Moreirense: Match Preview and Team News
Benfica
Benfica step into the match after back-to-back losses that have dealt a major blow to their title hopes. The seven point deficit to Porto at the top of the table now seems huge and Benfica might have to settle for a second place at best. The team will be without Rodrigo Pinho, Nemanja Radonjic, and Lucas Veríssimo due to injuries, while Jan Vertonghen is doubtful.
Moreirense
Moreirense have been able to give themselves a fighting chance of staying in the Portuguese Primeira Liga after two wins in the last three matches. The win over Vizela comes at a crucial time with Moreirense taking on the likes of Santa Clara and Belenenses in the next few weeks. The team will be without Godfried Frimpong due to injury, while Sori Mane has departed out to the AFCON.
