Benfica's recent form is impressive, remaining undefeated in the Liga Portugal 1 with 10 wins and 6 draws across 16 matches, currently holding third place in the standings. Under the guidance of Mourinho, the team exhibits a balanced attack and defence. They average 2.06 goals per game, with a robust defence conceding only 10 goals, averaging 0.63 goals against per match. Their home ground, the Estádio da Luz, provides a significant advantage, with an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 4 draws this season. Estoril's performance this season has been steady, accumulating 20 points in 16 league games, positioning them ninth. Their style is characterised by a strong attack but a weak defence. They have scored 27 goals, yet have conceded 26, indicating a lack of defensive stability. Their away form is particularly poor, with only one victory in eight away matches this season, conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game, highlighting their poor ability to withstand pressure on the road. Benfica's unbeaten run in the league showcases their top-tier defensive efficiency and attacking prowess. In contrast, Estoril concedes an average of 1.63 goals per game, with their away defence worsening to a disastrous 2 goals conceded per game. Notably, Estoril's ability to win away is limited, and facing Benfica at the Estádio da Luz is a daunting challenge, putting them at a significant psychological disadvantage. Mourinho's team is tactically disciplined and excels at exploiting opponents' mistakes, making them well-suited to target Estoril's defensive vulnerabilities. In their 18 previous encounters, Benfica holds a dominant record of 15 wins and 3 draws, remaining unbeaten. In recent meetings, Benfica has consistently won with a clear advantage. This historical dominance puts Estoril under significant psychological pressure before the match, while Benfica's players possess inherent tactical confidence. Considering Benfica's strong home control and Estoril's fragile away defence, Benfica's victory seems likely, with a strong potential to overcome a significant handicap. Score prediction: 2-0, 3-0
