Estoril desperately need points on Monday, Aug 31 at 7:45 PM in the Primeira Liga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Benfica come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Estoril travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Benfica won their last outing, while Estoril suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Benfica here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Estoril, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Estoril won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Benfica a slight edge, but Estoril are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
