🎙 João Tralhão, assistant to Benfica's head coach José Mourinho, reflected on the Champions League playoff matches against Real Madrid (0-1, 1-2). Mourinho was sent off in the first leg and watched today's match via iPad from the Benfica team bus parked at the Santiago Bernabéu: "We played well for more than 25 minutes and had an excellent first half. In the second half, we also had our moments. It was a fantastic display from us! I just spoke with the coach, and he is very proud of our performance against a global football giant. We could have scored more as we created several chances. Moreover, we hardly gave Real any opportunities; they managed to score from just two specific moments. We are disappointed with the result but extremely proud of the team."
❌ In a positive note, only João Veloso remains in the Eagles' injury list.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Gil Vicente face a tough challenge as they go up against Benfica's formidable attack, which is currently in top form. Despite Gil Vicente's recent successes, their inconsistency could prove to be a decisive factor. The trend shows that Benfica often score more than 1.5 goals away from home in recent clashes with Gil Vicente. Considering the visitors' strong offense and frequent victories over the hosts, betting on over 2.5 goals total seems well-founded. An active match with plenty of chances and scoring from both teams is expected.
