Chaves, Recent FormChaves had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Gil Vicente. During that encounter they had 40% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 15 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Vítor Campelos will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and he will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 11 their 17 home matches.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Estádio Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Benfica, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Benfica players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Porto. They came away from that fixture with a 61% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Porto, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be delighted with his team's performances recently, with them having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games whilst conceding only 3. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 13 games. When on their travels they are proving difficult to break down, with an outstanding run of 6 clean sheets in a row, away from home.
They are showing impressive form away from home with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten on their travels in 6 games.
On an individual basis, João Mário is giving Benfica's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 6 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
A defeat for Chaves in their last match against Benfica was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 5 goals.
As Águias will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Chaves having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. Benfica have managed to keep a clean sheet against Chaves in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Benfica have a decent scoring record against Flavienses in recent times, having hit the back of the net 15 times in the last 5 matches between the two. In their past 5 meetings, Benfica's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Flavienses will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Benfica has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Chaves in 7 games.
Rafa Silva is on a hot scoring streak against Chaves, having scored in each of Benfica's last 0 meetings with them.
With only Jonny Arriba (Muscle) and Nwankwo Obiora (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Vítor Campelos will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Roger Schmidt has a number of injury concerns in his Benfica squad to contend with: Alexander Bah (Knee), Julian Draxler (Ankle) and Mihailo Ristić (Muscle)
