Benfica take on the visitors Young Boys in friendly the clash of the Uhren Cup. The game will be played on Saturday, July 15th.
Benfica have become the complete triumphant of the previous season as the side won the Primeira Liga and the Taca de Portugal, having left behind its principal “enemies-rivals”: FC Porto and Sporting. As usual the Portuguese sold several team’s leaders in summer receiving 79.5 million euro for three players: Ederson, Marcal and Victor Lindelof. Meanwhile, “Aguias” spent 12 million euro on new football players and six out seven million were paid for the goalkeeper Andre Moreira even though the club have recruited 12 players at once. During the break Benfica conducted one encounter resulting in 2:0 triumph over Xamax.

Last season Young Boys took the silver medals of the Swiss Super League. In summer the side participated in four friendly matches, however, it managed to get only one victory over Wacker Innsbruck with 3:0 scoreline alongside with two defeats plus 2:2 draw against Stoke City in a regular time with a loss to the Brits by penalty shoot-out.
The teams have never met before. Benfica just get into their competitive rhythm after summer vacations, while Young Boys have played already enough clashes, thus the Swiss should be more successful in their head-to-head against the Portuguese comparing to Xamax, especially taking into consideration that Young Boys are stronger than their country-mates. I believe that the fight will bring a lot of scored goals as both rivals demonstrate powerful football in offense plus friendly battle is a perfect opportunity to show an “open” football.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
