Reggie Cannon is coming off one of his best performance in a Boavista kit last weekend and will now try to help his team move further away from the relegation zone.
Boavista travels to fourth place Benfica on Saturday, knowing an upset win would move them five points clear of the bottom three in the Portuguese Primeira Liga table. Cannon has made 19 appearances in his first season overseas, and registered one assist in last week’s 3-0 win over Famalicao.
The U.S. Men’s National Team defender has been one of the bright spots in Boavista’s squad this season, but will certainly have his work cut out for him this weekend. Fourth place Benfica has slipped in the title race, but with three wins in a row, should be full of confidence against the 14th placed visitors.
Elsewhere, Weston McKennie and Juventus aim to rebound from their UEFA Champions League exit by taking on Cagliari in Serie A play. John Brooks and Matthew Hoppe go head-to-head this weekend while Christian Pulisic and Chelsea travel to Leeds United. Antonee Robinson will try to help his Fulham teammates slow down a dynamic Manchester City attack. Tim Weah and Lille face a trip to Monaco in a top-four Ligue 1 clash. Sergino Dest and Barcelona host Huesca on Monday.
