Today we travel to play Benfica in the 1st leg of the 1st knockout round of the Champions League. They are the top team in Portugal this year, and they have a talented team. However, their best striker, Mantorras is injured for this game. Their best midfielder, Paulo Almedida is suspended for this game. Their second best centreback, Ricardo Rocha, is suspended for this game. Their third third best striker is also injured for this game. They will be relying on the relatively raw Humberto at striker. They also need Diogo to have one of his best games. Left winger Joao Eduardo is a raw player who has a great deal of potential. He will need to have the game of his career tonight. Bruno Goncalves is a 23 year old midfielder who is very skilled and he could give us problems. He does everything very well. Quim is a good keeper, and he will have to stop a lot of shots if they are going to beat us tonight.

We are even odd favorites.

It's sunny with temperatures in the 50's.
