Benfica and Estoril meet at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon for this match in the Portuguese Premier league. The home team are currently in third position with 58 points while the visitors are in 7th place with 34 points. Benfica are flying high after they caused a major upset in their last match when they beat Ajax 1-0 to knock the Dutch team out of the Champions League. They will hope to carry that form into this match as they have also been in great form in the league. Benfica are unbeaten in their last six league matches and are unbeaten in their last eight games across all competition. They are currently six points behind second placed Sporting and will want to close the gap as the second place team receives automatic qualification for next seasons Champions League.

Estoril had a good 2-0 home win in their last match against Portimonense to match it two matches unbeaten for them. The visitors have had major problems on the road as they have not won in their last six away matches across all competitions. Their last away victory was in December when they beat bottom of the table Belenenses. Estoril will be desperate for a first ever win against Benfica. They have played them 18 times previously, losing 15 and drawing three of the matches. Estoril’s biggest problem on the road has been their lack of goals as they have only scored one goal in their last five away league matches.
