Everton

A crippled Everton will travel to Portugal for Thursday night's Everton vs Benfica clash.

David Moyes will have the luxury of knowing that Everton have won both of the opening two matches in the group, but the agony of being without so many of his first team regulars.

Steven Pienaar, the latest victim to be hit by the injury bug, could return, however, for this Benfica vs Everton fixture after missing the Toffee's last two games. His energy in midfield would certainly be a boost for Moyes as Everton have looked flat in back-to-back draws in the Premier League.

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, who saved a point for Everton on Saturday against Wolves, has performed well since his arrival from Lokomotiv Moskva.

In the absence of some of the club’s big names like Mikel Arteta and Phil Jagielka, Bilyaletdinov has adjusted quickly to the English game and shown real promise in recent weeks.

Benfica

Benfica have started the 2009/10 Portuguese Liga on an absolute high. Jorge Jesus has his team playing delightful football and not only winning, but annihilating teams in the process.

Following an opening day draw with Maritimo, Benfica have been perfect in the league through seven games and have an astounding goal difference of +20, thanks largely to an 8-1 victory over Vitoria Setubal and a 5-0 thumping of Leixoes.

Still, for all their domination domestically, Benfica still have their work cut out for them in the Europa League in this upcoming Everton - Benfica match.

After beating BATE Borisov in the opening match of Group I, the Portuguese club fell to a 1-0 loss in Athens against AEK, leaving the group wide open.

Oscar Cardozo has been phenomenal for Benfica to start the season having netted seven times already in the league and once against BATE in the Europa League.

 

Prediction

This will be the first Everton v Benfica meeting in the history of the two clubs.

Benfica have been sharp to start the season, and given Everton’s injury troubles, Benfica should control the game in front of their home crowd.

Benfica vs Everton Prediction: Benfica 2 - Everton 0
