Chaves, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 5-0 away mauling at the hands of Vitória Guimarães, the Chaves team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Vitória Guimarães, who had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Manager Moreno Teixeira will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 10 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results. They've had a poor start to their season losing 6 of 9 league games.
Héctor Hernández will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Estádio Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira, having notched up 7 goals for Chaves in their last 6 league matches at home.
Benfica, Recent FormBenfica manager Roger Schmidt will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Casa Pia. They achieved 70% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Casa Pia's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's clear that Schmidt will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 12 goals and only give 3 away. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 4 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 4 games.
Goalscorer Ángel Di María will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Benfica.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Benfica, losing 1-0 to Chaves.
In their recent meetings Benfica have had no problem breaking down Flavienses' defence, having found the back of the net 14 times in their last 5 games. Playing at home, Chaves have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Benfica.
Rafa Silva will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Benfica against Chaves in this one, having netted 5 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
There is only really one injury concern for the Chaves manager Moreno Teixeira ahead of this clash, with Rúben Lameiras (Knee) missing out, which gives Teixeira a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt ahead of this clash, with Ángel Di María (Muscle) missing out, which gives Schmidt a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
