Benfica will travel to the Estadio do Vizela stadium this weekend on Saturday (16/9) to face Vizela in the Primeira Liga. The visitors hope to extend their winning streak in the league to four games.
Benfica started the season badly, losing 3-2 to Boavista in their opening match. However, they managed to recover and achieve three consecutive wins against Estrela Amadora (2-0), Gil Vicente (3-2), Vitoria (4-0).
With nine points from four matches, Benfica is in fourth place in the league standings. They want to add points before their first UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday against RB Salzburg.
On the other hand, Vizela have just tasted their first win in the league this season. Matheus Pereira’s single goal in the 56th minute gave them the full three points against Gil Vicente. Previously, they only got one point from three matches.
The win kept Vizela out of the relegation zone and up to 12th place with four points from four games. They want to surprise Benfica and ruin their record of never losing to the Eagles.
Head-to-head records and statistics show that Vizela and Benfica have met six times before, with Benfica winning five times and drawing once. Vizela has not scored a goal against Benfica in the last five meetings.
Last season, Benfica won 2-0 when they visited the Vizela stadium. They will want to repeat that result and achieve back-to-back away wins for the first time since 2019-20. Joao Mario has been a key player for Benfica, scoring goals in his last two matches against Vizela. He was also the team’s top scorer with three goals.
This season Benfica attracted Angel Di Maria from Juventus. The Argentinian returns to the club after 14 years playing abroad. He has scored in his last two league games and three of his last four in all competitions.
For tonight’s match, Benfica is expected to win easily over Vizela. The reason is, Benfica is in its best performance, after turning things around since the defeat on the first day. They also have a strong and experienced squad, and high motivation ahead of the Champions League match. Benfica are also the most prolific team in the league this season, with 11 goals in four games. They average 2.75 goals scored per game. Meanwhile, Vizela is still not balanced and consistent even though they got an injection of confidence after winning their first win of the season.
