Benfica host Alverca at Estadio da Luz, Lisboa on Monday, Nov 2 at 9:15 PM in the Primeira Liga.
Benfica come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Alverca travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Benfica head into this on the back of a defeat, while Alverca arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Benfica here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Alverca. Their last encounter ended in Benfica won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Benfica look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Alverca will make it uncomfortable. Benfica to win.
