Benfica, Recent FormAny Benfica pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 1-0 away defeat by Chaves. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Chaves, who had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling him of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games. Few teams have managed to keep As Águias away from their goal, having scored in all but 3 of their games this season.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at Estádio da Luz, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way. They've shown great form at home this season, winning 12 of their 14 league games.
On an individual basis, Gonçalo Ramos will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Estádio da Luz having scored 6 goals in Benfica's last 6 home games in the league.
Estoril, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Portimonense will have left the Estoril squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Portimonense who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 4 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 13 goals in the same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Estoril will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 8 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 9 games.
A defeat for Estoril in their last match against Benfica was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
Benfica will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Canarinhos having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 17 meetings. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, As Águias know how to do it against Estoril, having clocked up 13 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
Benfica has had a good run of league results at home to Estoril, winning their last 6 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 8.
Benfica manager Roger Schmidt has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Alexander Bah (Knee), Julian Draxler (Ankle) and Mihailo Ristić (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Estoril manager Ricardo Soares has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
