The match

Benfica finished third in the Primeira Liga last season and will be seeking a better start to the domestic season when they travel to Moreirense for their first league match. The two sides have had contrasting fortunes in the run up to this game. Hosts Moreirense are fresh from elimination in the first round of the Portuguese League Cup by Segunda Liga side Penafiel. That marked their third winless outing, and they failed to score in two of the three matches, while conceding eight goals in the process. They haven’t been great defensively, and head to this game with just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. Moreirense aren’t the strongest when playing at home either; last season they managed just four home wins in 17 matches.

Benfica’s season started with a Champions League game in the third qualifying round away to Spartak Moscow, and they registered a 2-0 win. That stretched their unbeaten run to six matches, with two or more goals scored in three of them. Their only loss in the last 14 matches was in the Portuguese Cup final against Sporting Braga. The win over Spartak Moscow extended their fine away run, with the team having registered eight wins in 10 away matches. They will still be favorites here, especially after scoring two or more goals in four of their last five away matches and by the fact that they have no loss to Moreirense in the last five meetings.

Key Statistics

  • Benfica are unbeaten in their last six matches.
  • Benfica have eight wins in their last 10 away matches.
  • Moreirense have conceded eight goals in the last three matches.
  • Moreirense have two clean sheets in their last 10 matches.
  • Benfica are unbeaten in their last five matches against Moreirense.

The bet of our experts

Of these two, Benfica will be the more confident, after their opening win in the Champions League. They have a good run and are great in attack, especially in their recent away matches. The home team hasn’t had a very impressive run at home and will most likely struggle here, facing a side that has dominated them. Go for an away win.
