Benfica will be looking to build on their excellent recent form when they take on Estoril at Estadio da Luz. The Eagles have won their last three matches, including back-to-back Europa League victories over Aarhus, before crushing Casa Pia 7-0 in Primeira Liga round 3. Benfica have been particularly impressive at home, winning 80% of their last 10 matches in front of their own fans while averaging 3.60 goals per game. Fredrik Aursnes is pushing for a start after missing the Casa Pia demolition, with no fresh injury worries for the hosts.
Estoril, meanwhile, face a daunting task as they look to end a nine-game losing run against Benfica in the Portuguese top flight. The visitors failed to impress in a 2-0 defeat to Rio Ave at the weekend and remain winless in their last 10 matches across all competitions. Estoril have also failed to keep a clean sheet during that run, conceding 1.80 goals per game. Xeka returns from suspension and could provide a boost to the visitors.
Benfica are in outstanding form and have dominated this fixture for years. Therefore, Home Win seems like the safest bet for this matchup, alongside Benfica -1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (68% of the last 28 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Monday 31 August 2026 at 18:45.
