Belenenses host Benfica at the National Sports Center Jamor on Match Day twelve of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The hosts are placed sixteenth in the league with eight points from eleven fixtures while the visitors see themselves at third in the league with twenty-eight points from their eleven games so far. A win for Belenenses can lift them up to the twelfth in the league while Benfica can go to the top of the league with three points. Belenenses come into the league with an encouraging 5-3 win over Caldas in the Taca de Portugal. They have won just three matches in their last thirteen matches and have won once in their last five matches at home. Despite Belenenses recovering some form off-late after a poor start to the league, the difference in quality between the two teams is massive.

Benfica, on the contrary, might have hit a bit of a slump after a terrific start to the season. They have won just twice in the last six fixtures. However, despite the lack of wins, Benfica’s overall record in the season is exemplary. They have won just once in their last seven fixtures and have lost once in their last thirteen away fixtures. Moreover, they come into the game with an away draw with Barcelona in the Champions League. Benfica also have not lost to Belenenses in the last seven meetings between the two clubs.
