Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Benfica meet Dinamo Zagreb, next Thursday, 20:00 in Lisbon (Estádio da Luz) for Group's Stage of Uefa Cup. After 2 games played Benfica have one victory (Hereeveen 4-2) and one loss (Stuttgart 0-3); meanwhile Dinamo beaten Beveren 6-1 in the only game they played.

Both teams come from frustrating results last week-end. Dinamo was beaten by Rijeka (2-4) while Benfica missed the chance to go top of the Portuguese SuperLiga conceding a draw 3-3 with Rio Ave. Following weak results (Dinamo is sixth on Croacia's table) Dinamo's coach Nenad Gračan resigned and the club have assigned a new coach Ilija Lončarević who will lead the side for the first time against Benfica.

"I am very pleased to have been given a chance to lead such a team and I will do everything in my power to justify club´s expectations", Lončarević said during a press conference.

Benfica have to win if they want to preserve their aspirations in qualifying for the next stage. However, they lose one more player, because Miguel left injured from the match with Rio Ave. We expect around 35.000/40.000 spectators to assist the match (The Stadium of Light - Estádio da Luz- takes 60.000).
