Benfica host Alverca at Estadio da Luz, Lisboa on Sunday, Nov 1 at 6:00 PM in the Primeira Liga.
Benfica come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Alverca travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Benfica won their last outing, while Alverca suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
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: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Benfica a slight edge, but Alverca are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
