Estoril, Recent FormLosing 3-2 away to Vitória Guimarães won't leave the Estoril squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 32%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Vitória Guimarães, who had 28 shots on goal with 8 on target.
Manager Álvaro Pacheco will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 11 goals they managed at the other end. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Goalscorer Alejandro Marqués will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Estoril.
Benfica, Recent FormBenfica will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Porto. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Porto, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 13 games in a row.
They are showing impressive form with a run of 6 straight wins in a row.
Ángel Di María will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Benfica.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Benfica running out winners in a match that ended 1-0.
As Águias will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Estoril, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 18 meetings between the two. We've seen plenty of goals from Benfica when they've visited Canarinhos in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 8 goals, which is an average of 2.67 per game.
Estoril have lost the last 3 times they've faced Benfica in the league and have failed to win in their last 18 encounters.
There is only really one injury concern for the Estoril manager Álvaro Pacheco ahead of this clash, with Marcelo Carné (Knee) missing out, which gives Pacheco a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Benfica manager Roger Schmidt has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
