Aves Preview – Can Aves play for pride?
Tuesday’s hosts, Desportivo Aves, were relegated a while ago as they sit rock-bottom of the Primeira Liga with just 17 points to their name with their cause not being helped by the fact that they’ve managed to pick up just one win out of their last 13 matches overall.
That rare success came in the shape of a 1-0 win against second from bottom outfit, Vitoria Setubal, but aside from that, Aves have become accustomed to finding themselves on the losing side with 10 of their last 13 matches ending in defeat.
In addition, results at home have also declined in recent times as Aves have gained just one win from their previous eight matches, losing six of these, so the hosts look to have their work cut out to get even a point against their more illustrious visitors, Benfica.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica finish on a high note?
With just two matches remaining of this season’s Portuguese top flight season and eight points behind the Primeira Liga leaders, Porto, Benfica will have to make do with a Champions League qualifier spot as they prepare to finish this campaign on a positive note.
A 3-2 defeat away from home at Porto back in early February was the catalyst to ending Benfica’s challenge for the domestic top flight title and the Champions League spot and the visitors have actually managed to win just four of their last 13 matches overall, but the visitors do bring a three-match unbeaten run into this clash at Aves.
Recent wins against Boavista and Vitoria Guimaraes should help steady Benfica and give them the necessary momentum to gain all three points in Tuesday night’s clash at Aves against whom they hold a great record, winning 10 of the previous 11 encounters against their hosts.
