Benfica are coming!

But before then there is a vital relegation clash between the bottom two teams. Early tomorrow morning (Saturday), several hundred Olhanense fans will make the 300 miles trek north to Aveiro to cheer on the ‘Rubro-negros’ against Beira-Mar.Only four points separate the bottom five clubs.

Babanco, Djaniny and David Silva have returned from World Cup duty with Cape Verde where they lost 4-3 to Equatorial Guinea.

Djaniny, scorer of two of the ’Blue Sharks’ goals, has yet to find the back of the net after fourteen appearances for Olhanense and the game against Beira-Mar would be the opportune moment to break his duck.

Injury worries are still a concern and with first choice keeper Bracali struggling for fitness, Bruno Verissimo could make his first appearance for two years. Ivanildo, Yontcha, Abdi and Rui Duarte are all receiving treatment whilst Mauricio is a long term absentee.

Tickets for the game against Benfica can be purchased from the Ticket Office at the Stadium all next week. Chris Wright
