Unstoppable Benfica host Maritimo at the Da Luz for the seventh round of the Portuguese Liga. WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. No it’s not a math equation, it’s merely Benfica’s form. Eighteen wins across all competitions have spearheaded Roger Schmidt’s side into top place in the league and their UCL group and there seem to be no signs of slowing down. Six clean sheets in their last nine and eighteen consecutive scoring games tell all the story for the Lisbon Eagles, who look like they are a level above the rest in Portugal. They are in fact even stronger at the Da Luz, where they have ten wins on the spin, scoring at least twice in all of those games. To top it all off, they have sixteen consecutive home wins against Maritimo, against whom they have scored a staggering twenty-three goals conceding just one in the latest five of this run.

 As if Benfica’s form was not enough reason for siding with the hosts, Maritimo are the complete opposite at the moment. They have six consecutive defeats, conceding eleven goals in their previous five encounters. They have also gone eight games winless away from home, although to their credit, they have scored in five of those. Besides being bottom of the league table with a grand zero total from their first six games of the campaign, Maritimo have the worst defence so far, with seventeen goals in their league games.
