Benfica Form

In their previous match, Benfica met Chaves on Saturday and it finished in a 0:2 win away from home. The outfit is currently enjoying an undefeated streak of two games, recording one draw and one win. It might sound strange but playing at home has proved to be rather a disadvantage in Benfica’s recent 10 meetings, as the visiting teams won on seven occasions and the hosts achieved just two triumphs for the period. No more than one of the previous 10 clashes of the squad concluded in a draw. Looking at the team’s previous five encounters, it becomes apparent that one produced over 2.5 goals and two witnessed goals at both ends. Throughout these, Benfica’s efforts paid off as the team managed to prevent goals in their net two times and failed to score on their own in one match. There were a total of 11 goals scored across the team’s five most recent outings.
