Vitoria Guimaraes vs Benfica Match Preview
Benfica will look to restore their five-point lead on Monday evening as they travel to Vitória Guimarães in the final Round 19 match in Portugal.
Benfica coach Jorge Jesus has warned his players the game on Monday is one of the Eagles most difficult encounters left this season
“The time between the two games (Zenit and Guimarães) is essential to recover properly, and from that point of view there is no problem. We are coming off a defeat, but it was a defeat that gives us confidence of making progress in the Champions League,” said Jesus.
“Now we must focus on Guimarães. This is one of the most difficult opponents we are going to face until the end of the championship. Guimarães are always strong, especially in their own stadium.”
Jesus does not believe the fact FC Porto won their game on Sunday evening puts extra pressure on Benfica. “Benfica play under pressure game after game. Our responsibility is to play to win, no matter what the points difference is between us and our rivals.”
Benfica will give late fitness tests to midfielder Javi Garcia and striker Rodrigo.
The hosts have been boosted by the return to the squad of playmaker and former Benfica midfielder Nuno Assis, who has missed the last two matches with a muscle strain.
Guimarães coach Rui Vitória is under no illusions as to the size of the task. “Benfica have the best team in the championship,” said the manager. “But we have our weapons. In our last seven games we have won seven and drawn one,” added Vitória.
Kick-off at 8.15 pm local time on Monday at the Dom Afonso Henriques.
Vitoria Guimaraes vs Benfica Match Report
Vitória Guimarães beat Benfica at the Dom Afonso Henriques Stadium on Monday night to blow the Portuguese title race wide open.
Benfica went into the match still unbeaten in the Liga ZON Sagres, but the Eagles were never at their fluid best against a determined Guimarães side. Brazilian striker Toscano scored what proved to be the winner shortly before the interval as Benfica's defense failed to deal with a free-kick.
The hosts continued their excellent recent form to hold on for the three points and become the first side to get the better Jorge Jesus' men in the league this season.
The defeat sees Benfica's lead at the top of the table cut to just two points. FC Porto are now within striking distance of the Lisbon club, and the great rivals meet in two weeks' time at the Estádio da Luz in a match that will surely have a crucial bearing on who become champions in 2011/12.
