Benfica, Recent FormBenfica have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 away win against Vizela in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Vizela, who had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
With 16 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 1 conceded, their manager Roger Schmidt will be more than happy with his team's form of late. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches. Few teams have managed to keep As Águias away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 8 games.
When it comes to home matches at Estádio da Luz, Gonçalo Ramos will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 8 league goals for Benfica in their last 6 home games.
Famalicão, Recent FormFamalicão will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Portimonense. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Portimonense, who managed 17 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
On an individual basis, Iván Jaime will be looking to cause Benfica some problems having scored 2 goals in Famalicão's last 6 away games in the league.
Famalicão suffered the disappointment of a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Benfica the last time they met in the league.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Estádio da Luz, Famalicenses have been unable to break through the Benfica defence and find the back of the net. In their past 5 meetings, As Águias' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Famalicão will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 7 league meetings between these sides, Benfica have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Famalicão in all 7 matches.
Rafa Silva is on a hot scoring streak against Famalicão, having scored in each of Benfica's last 3 meetings with them.
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 Famalicão manager João Pedro Sousa ahead of this clash, with Théo Fonseca (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Pedro Sousa a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
