Benfica, a dominant Primeira Liga powerhouse, continues their perfect start with a convincing 3-0 win over Tondela, while Alverca struggles to find form in their top-flight return. Benficaβs experienced squad and defensive solidity contrast with Alvercaβs defensive vulnerabilities and suspension issues.
Key Factors to Consider
Benfica is unbeaten with three wins, showing strong attacking and defensive balance. Alverca remains winless and defensively fragile, recently losing key defender Naves to suspension.
Historically, Benfica has strongly dominated this fixture, regularly securing wins by multiple goals, with Alverca rarely posing a significant challenge in recent meetings.
Alverca misses defender Naves (suspension). Benfica sees the return of key midfielder Florentino from suspension; however, Bah, Bruma, and Manu are still injured.
Match played at Alvercaβs home ground may provide slight home advantage, but large crowd impact unlikely to offset quality gap. Benfica motivated to maintain 100% start and challenge Sportingβs title hold.
Benfica highly motivated to assert dominance early in the season and maintain perfect record. Alverca motivated to improve but faces severe squad limitations and low confidence.

CF Estrela hosts Alverca in a crucial early-season Primeira Liga clash where both teams seek their first win. Estrela Amadora has a slight edge as the home favorite, while Alverca struggles at the bottom of the league.
Key Factors to Consider
Estrela Amadora is 13th with 1 point, showing defensive solidity but limited scoring, while Alverca languishes in last place without points, conceding more goals and struggling offensively.
Historically even with 8 top-flight meetings; Estrela holds a slight edge with 4 wins and 4 clean sheets, though Alverca won the last 4 encounters. No recent meetings since 2004.
