Benfica have been through a tough period lately and they will be hoping to stabilize starting with the away game against Estoril. The two sides are in the top four of the Primeira Liga; Benfica top with 24 points and Estoril fourth on 18 points. Estoril are on a four-game unbeaten run going into this game and have won their last two. They are coming from a 2-0 win away to Portimonense, the third time in five league games that they’ve scored twice. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches while they are winless in their last two league matches at home. Three of the last five home games have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in three of the last five as well. In their last six meetings with Benfica, both teams have scored, but Estoril have no win in 19 meetings with the Portuguese giants.

Benfica are coming from a 3-3 draw with Vitoria Guimaraes in the Portuguese Cup; it hasn’t been all smooth for them lately. They have just two wins in the last five but this is a game they should dominate. The visitors have 17 wins in 19 meetings with Estoril and in their history, they’ve never lost in this fixture. Benfica have the second best defence in the league, having conceded five goals only but here they go with just one clean sheet in five matches. Both teams have scored in two of their last five matches but they have 12 straight away wins in the league and are unbeaten in 14 away. In their last five league matches, Benfica have four wins and failed to score in just one – the loss to Portimonense.
