Another interesting game in the Primeira Liga. Benfica is in the 2nd position after playing two matches. They welcome Farense who are placed 16th after one games.

Benfica form and stats

The hosts won their first Primeira Liga game here at Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Benfica last season were 12 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses from 17 games.

A nice win for Benfica last time playing, versus Moreirense. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Haris Seferović and Rúben Dias scoring for the victors. A strong away win before that one, visiting Famalicao and winning 5-1.

Early season league goal statistics from Benfica's 1 home game: 2 goals, 0 conceded.

Farense form and stats

Farense have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Primeira Liga were 7 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats from 12 fixtures.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Farense, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Moreirense (placed 5th). That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Academico Viseu in the Segunda Liga.

It's early days yet, but Farense has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Let's have a look at how Farense performed last season in the Segunda Liga: They landed a 2nd position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 35 and conceded 22 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 2 and lost 3 with 17/10 goals scored/conceded.
