Pevidem vs Benfica Prediction
Pevidem impressively eliminated second division outfit Maritimo in the last round. However, they will be facing a significantly sterner test in this round.
Benfica, for their part have surprisingly not triumphed in the cup since 2017. The Eagles will be full of confidence, having won their last five games on the bounce, scoring at least two goals in each game. The most recent of those came against Atletico Madrid and the manner of their win against Diego Simeone's side will give them a boost in their title aspirations this season.
A game between a fourth division outfit and one of the biggest Portuguese sides should ostensibly only go one way. We are backing the visitors to claim a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.
Prediction: Pevidem 0-4 Benfica
