Benfica are coming into this match in decent shape. In their last five games, they have won two, drawn two, and lost just once. They have been scoring goals regularly, with their recent matches often seeing three or more goals in total. Alverca, on the other hand, are really struggling. They have lost four of their last five matches, with only one draw and no wins, and they have been finding it very hard to score, often losing by narrow margins.

The last two times these teams met, the matches were very tight and decided by just a single goal, with both sides taking a win. However, given Benfica's strong recent form and Alverca's poor run of results, this match looks quite one-sided. Alverca will need to find a huge improvement to challenge a confident Benfica team, so the home side is the clear favorite to win.
