Estoril welcomes Benfica to the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota for this match in the Portuguese Primera Division. The home team are currently 8th on the table with 16 points while the visitors are sitting pretty at the top with 31 points. Estoril come into this match on the back of a 1-1 away draw to Portimonense but will be disappointed as they lead for most of the match only to conceded a late penalty and share the spoils. They are just four points of the European qualification spots and will want to win to try and close that gap. Estoril have been in poor league form recently as they have only won one of their last five matches with three draws and a loss. They need to start converting the draws into wins as they have dropped nine points in their last five games.

Benfica are enjoying a superb season both domestically and in Europe. The visitors are fresh of an excellent 6-1 win over Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League, a result that allowed them to claim top spot in the group over French champions PSG. In the domestic league they lead second placed Braga by six points and will want another win to at least maintain that advantage. Benfica are the only unbeaten side in the league, winning 10 of their 11 matches with one draw. They have incredible only dropped two points all season. Benfica are unbeaten in their last 15 away matches across all competitions with 13 wins and two draws.
