Benfica and Alverca meet in the Portugal league, with the hosts having just thrashed their opponents in the cup 4-1, while the visitors have just lost at home 0-1. This game is therefore a meeting between a team on a good run and a team that has just stumbled. Benfica have won five in a row and have been scoring heavily in several recent matches, while Alverca, before losing their last match, had picked up wins in three of four games, but their defence still concedes regularly. The possession numbers in the league clearly show that Benfica dominate the ball far more. In the first half, Benfica at home tend to start strongly and often lead before half-time, while Alverca usually sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. If the hosts score early, the game should open up and end with a clear margin.
