[Primeira Liga] Last season, Benfica defeated Estoril twice in the league: 3-1 at home and 1-0 away.
The "Eagles" didn't have the best start to the current season, but Benfica is steadily regaining its form and re-entering the championship race. This comeback has been aided by slip-ups from Porto and Sporting. Currently, Benfica has 35 points and trails Porto by only two, with a game in hand.
In their last outing, Benfica secured a comfortable 2-0 away victory over Nacional, scoring both goals in the second half. Prior to that, the team dropped points in an away match against ABC (1-1) and played a goalless draw at home against Bologna in the Champions League. Overall, Benfica has been dominant at home, winning all seven of their league matches without dropping any points.
The "Canaries" fought to avoid relegation last season and managed to retain their place in the top division. This season, Estoril has 14 points from 14 matches (three wins and six losses), sitting just two points above the relegation zone.
In their most recent match, Estoril lost 0-2 at home to Casa Pia, a team from the upper half of the table. Over the last five rounds, Estoril has only one victory, along with two draws and two losses. The team's away form is poor, with no wins in six matches and three defeats.
