Benfica are expectedly to be dominant against Famalicao as they have won eight of the last 11 H2H matches. The team from Vila Nova de Famalicao won two encounters during the span, while one meeting ended in a draw. In the most recent H2H game, Benfica won 4-0 at Estadio da Luz.
Benfica team overview
After two seasons in which Benfica ended as runner-up, the Eagles had great expectations for the current campaign. However, after 14 rounds, they are already eight points behind league leader, Porto. Benfica have been excellent lately, winning six of their last seven matches. In the previous game, Jose Mourinho's team won 2-0 on the road in the cup against Farense. The guests mixed up their lineup for that match, but still didn't have serious problems recording another victory.
In the last few weeks, Benfica's defense was outstanding. They conceded only two goals in their previous seven matches. If Mourinho's team continues to deliver impressive defensive performances, they may have a chance of a turnaround.
Benfica have some problems with missing players. They will be without Alexander Bah, Dodi Lukebakio, Nuno Felix, Bruma, and Leandro Barreiro on Monday against Famalicao.

Famalicao team overview
The 2025/26 season could be one of the best in Famalicao's history. They are excellent so far, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they end up in one of the positions that will bring European football next autumn. However, Famalicao's form slowed down recently, as they won only one of the last four matches. In the most recent outing, Hugo Oliveira's team lost 4-1 on the road in the cup against Porto. The guests were solid in part of the game, but the hosts' firepower was simply too much to handle. Now, Famalicao will travel to another Portuguese giant.
Famalicao lost 4-1 against Porto, but the head coach, Hugo Oliveira, feels that the final score doesn't reflect what happened on the pitch. He said, "I believe that the numbers do not reflect what happened on the field. Our goal was to win and move forward. We remained true to our identity, with phases of connection and creating opportunities. We shot at the goal as many times as the opponent, but with less efficiency in finishing."
Pedro Bondo, Umar Abubakar, Oscar Aranda, and Gonzalo Pastor are all unavailable and will not play on Monday at Estadio do Luz.
