Estrela Amadora, Recent FormSérgio Vieira will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 away thrashing at the hands of Vitória Guimarães. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Vitória Guimarães' tally of 15 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Benfica, Recent FormBenfica will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 home win against Boavista. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Boavista who had 5 attempts and 1 on target.
It's clear that Roger Schmidt, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 14 goals and only give 2 away. Away from home, they are currenlty on a run of 5 consecutive clean sheets, and they've scored in 17 of their 18 games overall this season.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 17 games.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Petar Musa has given the travelling Benfica support something to shout about on the road.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Benfica produced a comfortable 2-0 victory.
As Águias have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Estrela. Benfica have managed to keep a clean sheet against Estrela in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. The Benfica defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Tricolores in the league, with Benfica conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Benfica has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Estrela in 13 games.
With no real injury worries, Estrela manager Sérgio Vieira will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Roger Schmidt has a number of injury concerns in his Benfica squad to contend with: Alexander Bah (Thigh), Juan Bernat (Muscle) and Casper Tengstedt (Thigh)
