Benfica, Recent FormLast time out, Benfica went away feeling content with a 1-0 away win against Casa Pia During that encounter they had 68% possession and had 21 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 6 shots on goal.
Their boss Roger Schmidt has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 16 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 9 goals conceded across those matches. They have scored in 24 of their 26 games this season, and of the 13 games they have played at home, they've notched up 7 clean sheets.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 7 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 16 games.
Rafa Silva will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Benfica.
Chaves, Recent FormChaves won't feel too deflated by the 2-1 home defeat to Vitória Guimarães, given that their opponents sit a full 13 places above them in the league table. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Vitória Guimarães' tally of 18 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Moreno Teixeira will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 5 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in 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 7 of their 13 games this season.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 9 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Goalscorer Héctor Hernández will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Chaves.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Benfica running out winners in a match that ended 0-2.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Estádio da Luz, Flavienses have been unable to break through the Benfica defence and find the back of the net. In each of their last 4 away matches in the league at Estádio da Luz, Flavienses have let in at least 1 goal. In their last 3 away league games against As Águias, Chaves have conceded a total of 12 goals and that's an average of 4 per game.
In the league, Benfica has an strong track record when they play host to Chaves, notchng up a win in their last 4 home games.
Benfica player Rafa Silva will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Chaves, having scored 3 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Estádio da Luz.
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.
Chaves manager Moreno Teixeira has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
