The home team returns to Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira after drawing with Gil Vicente (placed 13th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. Vítor, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.01 out of 10 in that game. Vítor topped it up with a clean sheet.

Benfica form and stats

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Benfica so far, with 11-1-1 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Liga Portugal statistics. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Benfica's record of six away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Sporting Braga game.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Champions League home defeat versus Inter with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Chiquinho got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, top player of the team. Chiquinho dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 57 successful passes (of 63 total).

The game before that, in the Liga Portugal, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Porto.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Champions League trip to Inter.

The travelling fans enjoy Benfica's attacking play in away games, having scored 25 goals in 13 league matches away. The Benfica defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({4 goals} in 13 games). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Benfica have put together a streak of 7 consecutive matches without defeat (6-1-0) when playing Chaves.

Benfica - Chaves 5-0 was the score in these participants' last head-to-head match, earlier this season.
