Saturday's Primeira Liga action will draw to a close at Estadio Jose Gomes, where Estrela will be playing host to Benfica. The Tricolores and As Aguias are ninth and 10th in the league standings, respectively. Let's get into the match prediction. 

After surviving their second consecutive campaign in the top flight, Estrela's goal this season will likely be to push closer to the top half of the standings. Last term, they earned 29 points from 34 league games (W7 D8 L19).

One of the major difficulties the Tricolores faced last term was a lack of attacking output, with the team scoring just 24 goals - the joint-fewest in the division alongside relegated Boavista.

The hosts played out a 1-1 draw away to Estoril last week. This is their first home game of the season. In 2024-25, they recorded W5 D4 L8 in 17 home league games. 

Meanwhile, last season ended in major heartbreak for Benfica, with a 1-1 draw against Braga on the final day costing them the league title. They were then beaten to the Taca de Portugal crown by Sporting a week later. 

As Aguias’ opening league game of this season was postponed owing to their Champions League qualifier against Nice, which they won 4-0 on aggregate, ahead of this match. 

The visitors ended last term with the second-best away record in the top flight, taking 36 points from their 17 outings (W11 D3 L3). They have also won each of their last nine matches against this opponent across all competitions.
