Seriously who is going to stop this Benfica side? Chaves is up next, but they surely are not coming at it with confidence. The Lisbon train did not stop in midweek as well, taking a resolute as much as thrilling 4-3 win over Juventus and set to battle first place in the group next week. Roger Schmidt’s side are now twenty games unbeaten in the season, just two shy of equalling their best ever start to a top-fight campaign. They have also remarkably won sixteen of those affairs, while they have scored at least four goals in three of their last four home games. As one can imagine, Benfica are deservedly top of the Portuguese Liga standings as well, having conceded just five goals in their ten games played so far. To make things ever better, they hold a ferocious record against Chaves, whom they’ve beaten in all of their past four home games, keeping clean sheets in their most recent two. 

Chaves will be surely dreading the trip to the Portuguese capital, especially taking into account that have won just two of their last seven games in all competitions. The visitors suffered a shock last midweek, after getting eliminated from the cup by fourth-tier side Valadares Gaia, but a 3-2 win against Gil Vicente at the weekend helped restore some of that damaged pride. On the downside, Chaves have lost three of their last four encounters on the road, failing to score in each of those. To make matters worse, they have failed to beat Benfica in each of their previous eight competitive meetings, with a draw in 2018 being all they have to show for.
