SL Benfica - Fenerbahçe SK 02/05/2013 20:05 BST

The undefeated at home this season team of Benfica has the difficult task to make up difference of 1 goal against Fenerbahce. The hosts should be happy that are just one goal behind, because the difference could have been much larger, in view of the last semifinal clash, in which Fenerbahce definitely missed some great chances to score more goals.

Everyone in the squad of Benfica are confident that they would reach the final, despite the poor performance of the team in the last match against Fenerbahce. The hosts will be enhanced by Enzo Perez and Andre Almeida, whose suspensions have expired and will be able to participate in the meeting. For the guests from Fenerbahce, however, two key footballers miss the game due to suspensions - Webo and Mehmet Topal.

Undoubtedly, the hosts will start rather aggressively pursuing an early goal, but the visiting Fenerbahce are quite capable to take advantage of the slightest opportunity to decide the outcome of the game. In the previous match between the two teams, Yobo and Korkmaz have done a good job in defending Oscar Cardozo and thus scoring opportunities for Benfica were only a few. If the hosts do not make some changes in the way they played in the last match, then Fenerbahce will deservedly be a finalist in the Europa League. However, we must not forget the fact that Benfica is unbeaten at home in the domestic league throughout the season, and in the European competitions Barcelona is the only team that managed to reach the victory at Estádio da Luz.
