Benfica, Recent FormBenfica will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their away fixture against Gil Vicente. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Gil Vicente, who had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 17 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Roger Schmidt will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 8 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row.
They have had an excellent run of form at Estádio da Luz recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Rafa Silva has scored in each of Benfica's last 4 league games.

Manager João Miguel 'Moreno' da Cunha Teixeira will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.
Alisson Safira will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Benfica in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Vitória Guimarães.
After a good 5-1 win for Benfica in this pair's last league encounter, Vitória Guimarães will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.

Playing at home, Benfica have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 14 times they have faced Vitória SC in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt ahead of this clash, with Mihailo Ristić (Muscle) missing out, which gives Schmidt a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Vitória SC manager João Miguel 'Moreno' da Cunha Teixeira has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
