The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the Primeira Division. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Benfica hope to make it five in this match.

Benfica had fun at their own home (Macau Olympic Complex Stadium) last time out, beating CFB Macau 7-0. As mentioned above, Benfica was the only team on the pitch versus CFB Macau in their previous game, winning 7-0. This could be a tougher task.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Cheng Fung.

As mentioned earlier, Benfica will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 5 wins (5 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 0 surprising defeats.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Benfica alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (25 from 7 played). Benfica are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 5 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
