The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a 2-2 draw, showing that Casa Pia can occasionally trouble the Lisbon giants, especially in compact defensive setups. Previous meetings include Benfica’s 3-0 win in August 2024 and Casa Pia’s surprising 3-1 victory in January 2025, highlighting some unpredictability in this fixture.
Casa Pia team overview
Casa Pia come into this fixture struggling for consistency and results. The team has failed to win in their last four league matches and has drawn four of their last eight fixtures, averaging less than one point per game this season.
Offensively, Casa Pia have failed to score in a significant number of fixtures, indicating low attacking efficiency. Their recent seven-game form shows just two wins and three draws with only six goals scored, reinforcing the idea that chance creation remains limited.
No major injury updates have been widely reported, but the squad’s lack of depth and goal-scoring consistency remains a major concern ahead of facing one of the league’s strongest defensive units. Forward Cassiano has netted five times this Liga Portugal season and is undoubtedly Casa Pia’s most significant threat in attack.

Benfica team overview
Benfica arrive in strong form and remain one of the most efficient teams in the league. They have won six of their last eight league matches and are unbeaten in many recent fixtures; to be precise, they are the only team still unbeaten in the entire Liga Portugal.
The Eagles have also been dominant away from home, winning 10 of their 13 away matches (77%), highlighting their ability to control games even on the road. However, a 3-1 defeat away at Casa Pia last season should send Jose Mourinho’s side some warning signs ahead of their trip across the city.
Vangelis Pavlidis has been the star player for Benfica this Liga Portugal campaign - the Greek international has netted 21 goals in 27 appearances.

Prediction
From a statistical standpoint, this match heavily favors Benfica, as pretty much every performance metric suggests a controlled Benfica victory. Casa Pia’s inability to keep clean sheets at home and their low scoring rate significantly reduce their chances of producing an upset. However, they have managed to score in their last two meetings with Benfica, while Mourinho’s men have failed to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive away outings.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Benfica have failed to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive Liga Portugal away fixtures.
- Casa Pia have scored in their last four league home matches.
- BTTS has landed in the last two meetings between Casa Pia and Benfica.
