On Saturday August 1^st Portuguese giants Benfica Lisbon will take on Portsmouth FC in a highly touted international match up. Each team will hope to use the game as a positive tune up before the regular season and would like to finish off their pre season on a positive note. Be sure to watch Benfica Lisbon v Portsmouth FC live by tuning in at OleOleFootball.

Benfica Lisbon is currently being led by Jorge Jesus who took over as manager in June of 2009. They have played 7 pre season games so far and have had pretty respectable results so far. Oscar Carozo, Javier Saviola and David Luiz have led the way for the team as they are proving they should be a team to beat this year in Portugal. Oscar Cardozo has definitely been the best player for the team so far and would love to get to the back of the net against Portsmouth on August 1^st. The defining moment of their pre season so far has to be when they captured the trophy in the Amsterdam Tournament thanks to goals from Angel Di Maria and David Luiz against Ajax FC.

The big news out of Portsmouth this week has had nothing to do with this international friendly. The big news is that leading scorer and top superstar has left the team and signed via transfer to the Tottenham Spurs. After leading the team with 16 goals last year and being brought in with a multi-million dollar deal in 2008, this news came out of nowhere for the team and its fans. This game against Benfica will be the first time that the team will play without him and will give football fans a good idea of whether or not Portsmouth can still compete.

Will Portsmouth survive with Crouch or will Benfica be able to lean on Oscar Cardozo for a victory? OleOleFootball is the best place to find out and watch Benfica Lisbon v Portsmouth FC live.
