Preview of Benfica vs Rio Ave

Benfica will win this game handily. I am predicting a win by 2 goals or more. This Benfica team should have a lineup with only two new faces that didnt play for the team last year. Eliseu at leftback and Bébé I think will start alongside Lima, though it could be Derley that gets the nod.

Rio have some good dangerous and fast players up front in Ukra and delValle. But they wont have the ball much as Benfica's midfield will surely impose its dominance. No chance Benfica loses. They are too dominant and strong and have a lineup almost identical to last year's. But stronger. Bebe and Derley are both better than Rodrigo was and Eliseu is better than anyone who played left back last season.
