Academico Viseu are back in the Primeira Liga after close to four decades out, and they are set for a baptism of fire. They start off their campaign away to Benfica this Sunday. Going by Benfica’s start this season, our prediction backs them for a comfortable win here.
Benfica might have completed last season without a loss in the league, but they were generally underwhelming. They finished third, eight points below the eventual winners, Porto.
Now under a new manager, Marco Silva, the Lisbon giants will be looking to soar. We don’t expect their unbeaten league run to end this weekend, especially as they face a side they hold four straight wins against.
After 37 years out, Academico Viseu are making a comeback to the Primeira Liga. They earned their place after finishing second in the second tier. The visitors will start the season under a third manager in the past one year.
They will hope these changes don’t affect the team rhythm coming into a superior league. Bruno Pinheiro is the current man in charge. He saw them through preseason, where the team won once in the three matches played.
Competitively, they are unbeaten in the last five outings, winning two. In their latest away match, they faced Benfica B and posted a 2-0 win. The league’s new boys will be keen on meting the same on the senior side.
