Benfica – Moreirense

Benfica host Moreirense in what promises to be a stark contrast between the table leaders, sitting second with 16 points from six games and a dominant 21‑4 goal difference, and the strugglers in 15th place, who have managed just four points and a modest 4‑12 tally. The Portuguese giants will be looking to extend their unbeaten run of five wins and a draw, while Moreirense will be desperate to secure a rare victory after only one win and a single draw this season. Statistically, the gap between the two sides is huge, with Benfica averaging over three goals per match compared with Moreirense’s one‑third of that output. If the current form holds, Benfica should find it difficult to be denied three points at home against a side fighting to avoid the relegation zone.
