Attention, Benfica! IPMA reveals weather outlook for clash with Nacional | OneFootball

The match against Nacional will be synonymous with difficulties, and not just on the pitch. According to reports, Benfica can very well expect adverse weather conditions at the same time as the match is set to kick off. Based on the information revealed, dense fog is expected in Choupana.

In statements quoted by the newspaper A Bola, Ricardo Tavares, regional delegate of the IPMA in Madeira, gave an encouraging forecast for the match between the Eagles and the islanders, but emphasized that the encounter will not be free from some adverse weather conditions, namely the presence of dense fog.

"At the time of the start of the match, we are forecasting low visibility. But throughout the game, there is also a probability of some reduction in visibility. It is not impossible that there will be a reduction in visibility; it may occur," the expert explained. It should be noted that Choupana is situated at an altitude of 632 meters, which makes it prone to these adverse situations.

"In this case, we have a specific point, which has to do with the mountains and the altitude of Choupana, but we also have to take into account the time of day, as it is exactly at sunset, which always brings a situation of change. It starts to cool down and there are a series of phenomena that then influence the situation," added Ricardo Tavares.

It should be remembered that the duel between Nacional and Benfica — part of the 12th round of Liga Portugal Betclic — will take place on the afternoon of Saturday, November 29, at 6:00 p.m. For the match in Choupana, the press reveals that José Mourinho will present a surprise in the Eagles’ starting eleven.
