Benfica begin their quest to reclaim the league title against newcomers Academico Viseu. Benfica head into the clash in high spirits after comfortably dispatching St. Gallen in the Europa League at home, extending their impressive run of results. The Lisbon giants have won six of their last 10 competitive matches, averaging 2.40 goals scored per game while remaining unbeaten in that spell. Their home record is particularly impressive, with an 80% win rate, 3.00 goals scored per match, and clean sheets in 60% of their last five home outings. Summer signings Jakub Kaminski and Clement Lenglet are both expected to make their Primeira Liga debuts, while Florentino and Antonio Silva have departed the club.
Academico Viseu, meanwhile, are preparing for their historic debut in the Portuguese top flight. The visitors will rely heavily on last season's top scorer Andre Clovis, who remains their biggest attacking threat. Although they have kept six clean sheets in their last 10 matches, facing Benfica at Estadio da Luz represents a completely different challenge.
As Benfica possess superior quality and boast an outstanding home record, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Benfica to Win to Nil, alongside Benfica -1.5.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Sunday 9 August 2026 at 20:30.
