Benfica, Recent FormIn their last match Benfica enforced their superiority over Vizela with a 6-1 home win. They came away from that fixture with 61% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 10 on target. By comparison, Vizela managed 9 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Their boss Roger Schmidt has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 21 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 5 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 21 of their 22 games this season, and of the 11 games they have played at home, they've notched up 6 clean sheets.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 14 games.
On an individual basis, Rafa Silva has scored in each of Benfica's last 4 league games.
Portimonense, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Vitória Guimarães will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Portimonense. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Vitória Guimarães had 15 shots on goal with 1 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Paulo Sérgio will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 5 of their 11 games this season.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Portimonense, Sylvester Jasper will be looking to add more goals against Benfica in this match.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 1-3 win for Benfica.
In their previous 4 encounters with Benfica, Portimonense have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Portimonense will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Benfica in the league.
With 3 goals from the previous 3 league matches against Portimonense at Estádio da Luz, Benfica player, Rafa Silva, will be looking forward to this clash.
There is only really one injury concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt ahead of this clash, with Juan Bernat (Muscle) missing out, which gives Schmidt a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Portimonense manager Paulo Sérgio has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
