Kick-off: Sun 8 Nov, 8:30pm / Estadio Jose Gomes / Primeira Liga (UK time)
Estrela have produced mixed form across their last ten matches, recording three wins, three draws and four defeats. Defensive concerns remain prominent for the hosts, who have failed to keep a clean sheet across their past ten fixtures and have conceded an average of 1.8 goals per match.
In attack, Estrela have maintained a respectable output. They have averaged 1.5 goals scored per game across this ten-game sample, backed up by an average expected goals (xG) figure of 1.28.
Benfica arrive in commanding form, having won nine of their previous ten matches and losing only once. Their attacking play has been particularly potent over this stretch, with the side averaging 2.6 goals scored per game alongside an average xG of 2.14.
At the back, Benfica have conceded an average of 0.9 goals per fixture across their last ten encounters, keeping three clean sheets in that time.
Head-to-head records heavily favour Benfica, who have won all five of the previous meetings between the clubs. The most recent clash in January 2026 ended in a 4-0 home victory for Benfica.
Earlier encounters also went the way of the Lisbon side, including a 1-0 away win in August 2025, a 3-2 victory at Estadio Jose Gomes in February 2025, an emphatic 7-0 triumph in November 2024 and a 1-0 win in August 2024.
Benfica are favoured by recent data given their sequence of nine victories from ten matches and their unblemished record in recent meetings with Estrela. However, with Estrela consistently scoring at home and Benfica keeping clean sheets in only three of their last ten matches, a competitive fixture with chances at both ends appears more likely than a one-sided shutout.

Estrela have averaged 1.5 goals per match over their last ten games but have recorded zero clean sheets, conceding 1.8 on average.
