Tips:
In the game of the second round of the Primera Liga edition 2017/2018, Tondela receives FC Porto. The match will be on Sunday at 8:15 pm with the blues and whites starting naturally as favorites. Tondela is a modest team with aspirations to get back to maintenance at the top of Portuguese football, after having achieved it almost miraculously in the last two seasons. On Matchday 1, Tondela drew a ball in the Feirense field, adding up their first point. Having the best goal balance of the competition, the blue and white are in the lead, with a 4-0 victory against Estoril. It was aconclusive victory, in line with what Sérgio Conceição's team had shown in the pre-season.
Benfica will play in Chaves next Monday, at 21:00, in the game to count for the second round of the NOS League. In a traditionally difficult stage for any opponent, the transmontanos will try to steal points from the incarnates and confirm the aspirations with which they present for this season. Desportivo de Chaves has its new coach, Luís Castro, a man who breathes football and who favors a football in possession and always supported, as it was seen last season in Rio Ave and previously in team B of FC Porto. In front of an opponent like Benfica, the emblem of Transmontano will try to keep the ball as long as possible, taking the reds out of what they like to do, which is to attack in force and reach the goal as fast as possible. Grimaldo is a sure draw for this game, which makes Benfica look less offensive through its runners. Adding to the problem on the right-back, as he has not yet achieved any reinforcement to fill Nélson Semedo's exit for Barcelona, Benfica may face some difficulties in this trip to Chaves. Who will lead the best?
