Benfica face Alverca in Liga Portugal on Thursday, 29 October 2026. The main tip is for Benfica to win with both teams to score, as Benfica have kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games and regularly concede against Alverca. Alverca have scored in 8 of their last 10 matches against Benfica, while the Eagles remain strong at home and are on a good run of form. However, their defensive record suggests Alverca can find the net, making BTTS a key angle.

Benfica are in fantastic form but continue to concede goals. Alverca are capable of scoring here, but stopping the Eagles’ rampant attack is likely to prove to difficult.

Key Stats


  • Benfica have won 13 of their last 14 matches.
  • Benfica have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 home matches.
  • Alverca have scored in 8 of their last 10 matches against Benfica.
  • Alverca have scored in 7 of their last 8 matches (Liga Portugal).

HTH


Benfica have won the previous six encounters against Alverca, leading 10-3 alongside one draw.

Benfica in Fine Form


Benfica have won 13 of their previous 14 matches, the only hiccup coming at Porto where they lost 3-1 following Clément Lenglet’s first half red card. 

The Eagles have won all three matches in the Europa League, scoring 10 goals with one conceded.

Marco Silva’s side came back to win 2-1 at Santa Clara in their previous Liga Portugal clash.

Dodi Lukebakio scored twice as Benfica breezed past Gil Vicente 4-1 in the League Cup quarter-finals. They had 2.12-0.51 xG and were never seriously threatened in Lisbon.

Alverca's Winning Run Halted


Alverca failed to win in their opening five matches before reeling off three straight wins. Two of those came on the road, 3-1 at Nacional and 4-1 at Famalicao.

Sergio Ferreira’s side saw the winning run come to an end in the Portuguese Cup. They drew 0-0 at Tondela before conceding twice in extra time to go down 2-0.

The Lisbon club returned to Liga Portugal with an unlucky 1-0 defeat to Arouca. Steven Baseya was sent off in the 6th minute but they battled hard with 10 men.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Benfica (4-2-3-1) Samuel Soares; Alexander Bah, Tomás Araújo, Clement Lenglet, Samuel Dahl; João Palhinha, Fredrik Aursnes; Rafa Silva, Gianluca Prestianni, Andreas Schjelderup; Vangelis Pavlidis

Marco Silva has some tough decisions to make here with plenty of options in attack. Georgiy Sudakov and Dodi Lukébakio may have to settle for spots on the bench.

Jakub Kamiński is injured with Daniel Banjaqui, Enzo Barrenechea and Leandro Barreiro doubtful.

Alverca (3-4-3) Matheus Mendes; Yaya Bojang, Sergi Gómez, Isaac James; Diogo Spencer, Ian Luccas, Davy Gui, Chissumba; Chiquinho, Dawda Camara, Figueiredo

Steven Baseya and André Vidigalare suspended with Yaya Bojang to start in central defence. Bastien Meupiyou hasn’t featured since August.

Verdict

Benfica trail Porto by eight points and can’t afford to slip up at home to Alverca. The Eagles should dominate this clash, but I don’t see them winning with a clean sheet.
