José Mourinho could pull off the unthinkable in Farense v Benfica | OneFootball

He can achieve, in São Luís, another important milestone in his long career. The Benfica coach, in case of a victory against Farense, can reach his 750th win, a feat that few coaches can boast in their careers.

In recent days, the Portuguese coach has been preparing for the round of 16 match of the Portuguese Cup, against the Faro team, which will be a rematch of the 2024/25 cup clash. Certainly, the round number is not a priority for the Portuguese coach; however, it will add an even more special flavor for José Mourinho if Benfica advances in the competition.

Nevertheless, the coach from Setúbal arrives at this match buoyed by his 749th victory, achieved last Sunday, December 14, in a four-nil thrashing against Moreirense. Benfica travels to the stronghold of the Faro lions in a phase of greater stability.

According to the presented numbers, after the draw with Casa Pia (2-2) on November 9, the eagles are going through an unbeaten phase. In terms of away games, the reds have recorded five wins in five matches, having conceded only one goal — impressive numbers.

The match between the reds and the Algarve team is scheduled for this Wednesday, December 17, at the Estádio de São Luís, starting at 8:45 PM. However, a day before, on December 16, José Mourinho will preview the match in Seixal at 3:00 PM. In the last edition of the Portuguese Cup, Benfica eliminated Farense 3-1, also in the round of 16.
