Benfica will welcome Vitoria Guimaraes to the Estadio da Luz for a Primeira Liga matchday four fixture on Saturday.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-2 away win over Gil Vicente last weekend. Angel di Maria broke the deadlock from the spot in the first half, while second-half goals from Rafa Silva and Petar Musa saw the capital side leave with all three points.

The win propelled them joint-top top of the table alongside Porto, having garnered maximum points from three games. Benfica sit in fifth spot with six points to show for their efforts in three games.
