Benfica is preparing for their upcoming league match against Tondela scheduled for Sunday at 8:30 PM. The team, led by coach Mourinho, arrived in Tondela on Saturday night and has already settled in at a hotel in the Dão-Lafões region. Notably, Argentine young winger Gianluca Prestianni, who recently experienced knee issues, is traveling with the team and may be available for the match. The squad will likely see some changes in the starting lineup, including the return of players like Sidny and Rafa, who were previously absent from European competitions. Mourinho emphasized that despite facing a strong Benfica team, Tondela will not make it easy, and the team will play with determination and respect. The coach highlighted that Benfica has one of the best records in recent years, still undefeated in the league, and that their previous matches against big teams like Braga and Porto were closely contested, with losses coming down to small details. Bacci, Tondela's coach, acknowledged the difficulty but stated his team will not facilitate and aims to compete fiercely, emphasizing that Benfica is not invincible and has weaknesses that they are preparing to exploit. The match is critical for Benfica's title ambitions and second-place pursuit, especially after recent European success. The team has also been reinforced with returning players like Sidny and Rafa, and the squad is focused on changing recent losing streaks. Meanwhile, the team has already arrived in Tondela, with the squad seen on social media, and the match will test Benfica's resilience and tactical adjustments under Mourinho.
