Preview
Benfica continued their winning run during pre-season on Friday with a 4-2 win over Girona in their previous clash.
They have now won all 4 matches played and aim for a final flourish before the season opener. Vertonghen, Bah, Yaremchuk and Pinho scored for the Portuguese side as they continued their brilliant form.
On the other hand, Newcastle suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Mainz in their previous clash last week. This was their first defeat in pre-season after winning their opener against 1860 München.
Newcastle United look to stop a flourishing and threatening Benfica side and eke out a positive result, given the opposition’s form.
Both teams last met in the Europa League 2013 where it finished 1-1, but Benfica won 4-2 on aggregate.
