Vangelis Pavlidis To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

New addition Pavlidis scored 29 goals in 34 games for AZ last season, earning him a move to Benfica. He’s settled in well if preseason is anything to go by and given the similar standard of opposition he should get off to a strong start in Portugal.

Pavlidis to make bright start

Benfica begin their Primeira Liga campaign on Sunday and they’ll be aiming for progress from last term. Their key addition is striker Vangelis Pavlidis, who struck 29 goals in 34 matches for AZ last season.

The Greek forward is expected to make a strong start to life in Portugal, having already been among the goals in preseason. There’s not much of a step up, so Pavlidis should take to the Primeira Liga with ease.

Unfortunately, Benfica still have questions to answer defensively. They conceded 1.24 goals per game on their travels last term, finishing the season with one clean sheet from their final eight league trips.

Famalicao have had a high-scoring preseason, scoring 14 goals across their six matches. They had a solid campaign last term and they’ve freshened up their attack for the new season, so both teams to score appeals.
