Rui Vitoria's men travel to Parque Joaquin Almeida Freitas on Sunday January 31st, 2016 to face Moreirense for a crucial Premeira Liga fixture.
The Portuguese giants are under pressure to reduce the gap between them and league leaders Sporting, who are top of the Primeira Liga by five points after 20 matches. On the other hand, Moreirense would be comfortable with at least a draw, given the fact that they have never beaten Benfica in league or cup competitions in any of their previous meetings.
In fact, out of their last 16 matches, Moreirense have not beaten Benfica, and their most recent clash ended 6-1 in favour of Rui Vitoria’s men. They met thrice in 2015 and once in 2016, with The Eagles emerging victorious in each of those encounters.
Moreirense will have to worry about the on-form Jonas, who has netted 19 league goals to his name so far this season. Given the high-scoring nature of the game when the two sides meet, one would easily predict that Jonas could once again find himself on the score sheet for the visitors.
Although he might not have been as lethal as Jonas so far this season, Moreirense also have their front man Rafael Martins to lead the hunt for goals up front. With nine league goals to his name so far this season, Martins has played a crucial role in lifting The Green and Whites out of the relegation zone, and will be instrumental to his side when The Reds come calling.
