Benfica end 2016 in great shape. They lead the Portuguese league by four points and have qualified for the last sixteen of the Champions League. Home form has been strong with six wins out of seven in the league and just three goals conceded with four clean sheets in the last five. They have won their last four games and will be confident of progressing in the League Cup. Their opponents Pacos Ferreira are down towards the bottom of the league, currently 13th in the table just five points above the relegation zone. They have already played at Benfica in the league going down 3-0 and a similar result looks on the cards here. Just four league wins this season and seven defeats including two of the last three. Away form is appalling with only Tondela having a worse league record on the road. One win, a draw and six defeats (including the last five) means Benfica can win this game on a -1 handicap.
