I'm not doing any but I'd have gone for this ahead of either of the other two

More evidence of the thorough preparation for our return to the PL. Three really good overseas challenging fixtures-well done for the organisation

To clear any confusion, this is not being played at Benfica’s SOL.

Yep it's a cool ground just up past the monastery. Good view over that down to the river.

No confusion - clearly states in the article that it's being played at Estádio do Restelo, I even made sure it was on the top line of the article.durhamclaret wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 11:13 amTo clear any confusion, this is not being played at Benfica’s SOL.

This confirmed? Would probably have preferred to do this one than Betis if i'd have known
Re: ARTICLE: Burnley to face Benfica

No. It was on Twitter this morning early on. They also predicted the Benfica game, so no reason to think it’s not right. Doesn’t say where it’ll be played tho.1989_claret wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 11:24 amThis confirmed? Would probably have preferred to do this one than Betis if i'd have known

Three teams playing in European competition too - two of them in the Champions Leaugue.

It would be good to see if any of the clubs are streaming the games.

A bit more notice would have helped - flights are ridiculously expensive now
Re: ARTICLE: Burnley to face Benfica

A shame we aren‘t having a home friendly. 2 seasons on the trot no home friendly to go to. Is Kompany against having home friendlies at the Turf? Suppose it worked well for us last year!

This could end up on the transfer thread as Burnley sign Portugese Giant Ben Feeker.

It's a nice little ground in a very nice area of Lisbon.
Italy trained there during Euro 2004 and unless it has changed it is almost all uncovered.
Jose Mourinho played for Belenenses reserves during his short and modest playing career.

Yes. It is in Belem. Nice little ground. Southwest Lisbon, on the river. Some decent restaurants and a good value hotel, or it was pre-Covid. Some cheap beer to be had ten minutes walk west in earthier bars.

Would I be correct in saying this will be the first meeting of these two clubs?

sadly I won't be able to go, but if anyone is looking for somewhere decent to stay for the Benfica game - there's a hotel just down the road from that stadium called the Geronimos 8 - stayed there a couple of times with work and it's a decent place, not too pricey. The Belem area is really nice too, best bakery in lisbon too just around the corner, worth the queues! God, I'm getting old!
