Benfica host Belenenses on Match day twenty nine of the Portuguese Primeira Liga at the Estadio da Luz. The hosts are placed third in the league standings with sixty-one points from twenty-eight matches while the visitors find themselves at the seventeenth position in the table with just twenty-one points on board from their twenty-eight games so far. Benfica are almost out of contention for a Champions League finish in the Primeira Liga and will be hoping to solidify their position in the Europa League place in the league standings for the next season. Belenenses are well within the dreaded relegation zone at the moment and will need a miraculous turnaround to stay up in the division. Benfica come into the game with a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League. However, Benfica are unbeaten at home in their last four home matches in the Primeira Liga. They have lost just twice in their last eleven matches across all competitions as well.

Belenenses won 2-0 over Portimonense at home in their last Primeira Liga game. The Portimonense win was their first victory in six matches. They have not won a single away game in the Primeira Liga this season and thus carry on a fourteen game winless run on the road. It also must be noted that Belenenses have never beaten Benfica in the past and the same record is expected to continue as Benfica go into this game as firm favourites.
