Benfica, Recent FormThe Benfica players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sporting CP recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Sporting CP, who had 14 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 26 of their 28 games this season, and of the 14 games they have played at home, they've notched up 8 clean sheets.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 8 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 17 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Benfica, Rafa Silva will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Moreirense, Recent FormMoreirense manager Rui Borges will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Estrela Amadora. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Estrela Amadora who had 10 attempts and 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 7 of their 14 games on the road.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Benfica have scored in each of their last 12 games at home in the league against Os verdes e brancos.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Benfica hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 8 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Benfica manager Roger Schmidt will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Moreirense manager Rui Borges ahead of this clash, with Jeremy Antonisse (Muscle) missing out, which gives Borges a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
