Casa Pia welcomes Benfica to the Estadio Pina Manique for this second round match in the Portuguese Primera Division. The newly promoted home side will be delighted with their goalless away draw in the first round of the league. Casa Pia had a very short pre-season in which they only played two matches, losing and drawing one each. Last season they finished in second position in the lower league to gain promotion, missing out on top spot by just two points. This will be the first competitive match between the sides and they will be hoping not to be overawed when facing one of the giants of Portuguese football. Casa Pia have only lost three of their last 11 matches across all competitions while their home record is very impressive showing just one loss in their last ten matches.

Benfica have started their quest for a league title in superb fashion as they thrashed Arouca 4-0 in their opening match. They also won their last match 3-1 against Midtjylland in the Champions League qualifiers, to win the tie 7-2 on aggregate. Benfica will be looking to improve on their third place finish from last season and will have their eyes firmly fixed on the league title. They enjoyed an excellent pre-season, winning all five of their games. Benfica have won their last nine matches across all competitions and have only lost once in their last 15 matches. That lone defeat was against Porto in the league last season.
