It's fair to say Farense will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Vitória Guimarães, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with 32% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Vitória Guimarães managed 22 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
It seems pretty certain that José Mota will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Bruno Duarte has scored in each of Farense's last 3 league games.

In their previous league fixture, Benfica managed a remarkable 3-0 home win against Moreirense. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Moreirense's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 27 of their 29 games this season and recorded 15 clean sheets.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games. It's been a good season so far with them having won 22 of their 29 league games.
Rafa Silva will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Farense in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Benfica.
Farense vs. Benfica Head to head
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
As Águias have managed to keep a clean sheet against Farense in each of their previous 2 visits to Estádio de São Luís. Playing at home, Farense have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Benfica.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Benfica hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 9 meetings.
With only Luiz Felipe (Tendon) and Zé Luís (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, José Mota will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Benfica Injury News
There is only really one injury concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt ahead of this clash, with Juan Bernat (Physical discomfort) missing out, which gives Schmidt a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
