Famalicao – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“Villa Nova” has already spent 4 years in the Primeira after being promoted there. And the club has created a reputation of a solid mid-table team during this time. The newcomer started from 6th place, then there was 9th or, as in the previous season, 8th position.
Armando Evangelista, who did not allow the club to lose the positions, became the head coach in the spring and received a full contract. Being at the summer training camp, his wards looked decent.
Benfica – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Eagles” lost their positions in the previous cycle. Roger Schmidt’s wards lost in the championship race, not retaining the title – it was taken by Sporting. As for the Champions League, the representative of Portugal did not make it to the play-offs.
The German coach kept his position, and even got a smart newcomer, Beste. Still, it, until the last minute, is not clear who of the stars will be bought by the giants and who will stay and play.
