Benfica vs Nacional Funchal Match Preview
Benfica are staunchly refusing to buckle in their chase of FC Porto at the top of the table. The Eagles have won 11 of their last 12 matches in the league and are currently on a 7-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
The superb form of Jorge Jesus’ side can be largely explained by the consistent brilliance of Javier Saviola and Eduardo Salvio over the past two months and Nacional will have their hands full stopping the Argentine duo who have scored twelve goals between them in Benfica’s last seven matches.
Not that Nacional will be overawed. The high-flying team from Madeira are unbeaten themselves in six games and remain the only team to beat FC Porto this season. An interesting clash in the offing.
