Benfica, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 5-0 away defeat by Porto, Benfica manager Roger Schmidt will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Porto's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
Schmidt will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 19 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 9 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 22 of their 24 games this season, and of the 12 games they have played at home, they've notched up 7 clean sheets.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 15 games.
On an individual basis, Rafa Silva is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Benfica's last 6 league games
Estoril, Recent FormEstoril will not be too troubled by their 3-1 home defeat against Vitória Guimarães, given the latter currently sit 10 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they recorded 62 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 9 shots on goal.
Vasco Seabra, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 11 of their 12 games played.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Alejandro Marqués has scored in each of Estoril's last 0 league games.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Benfica came out on top, winning the match 0-1.
Goals should be on the cards for Benfica in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Canarinhos in their last 19 meetings together. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Canarinhos have failed to score a single goal against Benfica.
Benfica has had a good run of league results at home to Estoril, winning their last 7 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 9.
There is only really one injury concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt ahead of this clash, with Juan Bernat (Muscle) missing out, which gives Schmidt a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Erick Cabaco (Tendon) and Marcelo Carné (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Vasco Seabra will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
