Benfica back in league action after a month

Benfica return to league action tomorrow when they face Rio Ave at the Luz after what has been a long layoff from league play thanks to a postponed Week 8 game against Nacional in early October due to poor weather in the Madeira. Benfica last played a league game on September 28 when they defeated Gil Vicente 5-1 at home in Week 7.

Benfica look to shake off a disappointing display from their mid-week Champions League encounter which resulted in a loss to Dutch club Feyenoord. The loss was Bruno Lage's first in seven games since his rehiring at the club in mid September.
