We said: Moreirense 1-2 Benfica

 Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, Benfica head into the weekend as firm favourites to come away with all three points. However, Moreirense have been near impenetrable on home turf this season and will be backing themselves to cause an upset. While we expect Alves' men to give As Aguias a run for their money on Saturday, the Primeira Liga side possess the firepower needed to get the job done and we are backing them to claim a slender victory.
