Famalicão v Benfica: winning formula at work, but starter on alert | OneFootball

Benfica is expected to once again rely on the midfield trio it fielded in the last two clashes, against Sporting and Moreirense, both of which the Eagles won. However, in the partnership formed by Richard Ríos, Leandro Barreiro and Fredrik Aursnes, the Colombian international will take to the pitch against Famalicão on high alert.

According to Record newspaper, in this Saturday’s edition, May 2, José Mourinho, during the press conference, did not reveal whether or not he will use three midfielders against Hugo Oliveira’s side. However, if that happens, Ríos will have to be extra careful, as he is one booking away from receiving a fifth yellow card, which could rule the number 20 out of the match against Braga.

With the match against Famalicão being seen as a final, Richard Ríos will give everything to help Benfica, but, as the sports daily pointed out, the Colombian midfielder will have to be especially careful not to be booked by Gustavo Correia, the referee appointed for the match against the Famalicão side.

. At the moment, the Eagles, coached by José Mourinho, already have one doubt for the clash with the Arsenalistas, as Tomás Araújo has still not recovered from injury.

This season, for Benfica, Richard Ríos — valued at €22 million — has already made 43 appearances: 25 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 12 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. .
