Benfica, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-2 away defeat by Boavista will have left the Benfica squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Boavista, who had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Their boss Roger Schmidt has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 15 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 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 will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Benfica's last 6 league games.
Estrela Amadora, Recent FormThe Estrela Amadora players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Vitória Guimarães recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Vitória Guimarães' tally of 11 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 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 10 games in a row.
They have not lost away from home for an impressive 13 games in a row.
João Reis will be hoping to create problems for Benfica in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Estrela Amadora.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Estrela Amadora, losing 1-2 to Benfica.
Benfica have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against Tricolores. Benfica have managed to keep a clean sheet against Estrela in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, As Águias' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Estrela will have to take their chances when they come.
Benfica has had a good run of league results at home to Estrela, winning their last 7 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 7.
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.
Estrela manager Sérgio Vieira has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
