The Portuguese league started last weekend. Benfica not to a brilliant start. A 1-1- draw AT HOME, at the Da Luz against Rio Ave.
This weekend's game is against champions FC Porto also AT HOME. Portugal goalkeeper Quim (short for Joaquim) in the starting lineup.
New Benfica coach Quique Sanchez Flores doesn't seem to be fond of Nuno Gomes as a starting 11 forward. Nuno Gomes was a 2nd half substitute in the Eusebio Cup on August 15, 2008.
Di Maria is set to play this weekend for Benfica. He's back from the 2008 Beijing olympics. According to today's A Bola, the attack on the sides will be key, Reyes and Di Maria. Not just goals from the forwards Cardozo and Nuno Gomes.
