Match preview: Benfica vs AVS

Benfica and AVS face off at the Sport Lisboa and Benfica stadium in this 31st round clash of the First League. Their previous encounter in this competition, on 15-12-2024, ended in a 1-1 draw. The recent head-to-head record skews in favour of Benfica with 1 win and 1 draw from their last 2 matchups. It is essential to analyse the home and away forms, as Benfica has displayed varied performances at home compared to their away games.

Team analysis: Benfica

The home team is currently in 2nd place, having amassed 72 points from 23 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew 2-2 at home against Arouca, but bounced back in their last fixture with a commanding 0-3 win away at Vitória SC. Interestingly, Benfica has performed stronger away from home, recording 11 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 30 games as visitors, compared to 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses at home. Their most recent match was a comfortable 4-0 victory over Tersense in the Portuguese Cup. Over their last 10 home games in the league, Benfica has secured 8 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, gaining 25 points out of a possible 30. Their attack has been consistently prolific, scoring in each of their last 10 league matches. Their home fixtures tend to produce goals, with 13 of their last 15 league games surpassing 2.5 goals. Typically, Benfica takes the lead early, having opened the scoring in 23 out of their last 30 league games, maintaining this advantage until halftime in 17 of those fixtures, and ultimately finishing 90 minutes ahead in 20 encounters. Out of 30 league matches, they conceded the opening goal 7 times but managed to turnaround the score on 3 occasions.

Benfica’s team recently secured their spot in the Portuguese Cup final. This achievement allows them to preserve their key players for the crucial challenges ahead this season, which can often result in injuries that impact performance during pivotal matches. With a points tally equal to Sporting, Benfica remains optimistic about clinching the title; however, they need to avoid dropping points, particularly leading up to their decisive clash with Sporting. The Eagles have demonstrated quality and consistency throughout the season, as evidenced by their performance at Vitória de Guimarães, dismissing the draw against Arouca as merely a blip. Now, against AVS, anything less than a victory is unacceptable for the men in red.

Team analysis: AVS

The away team finds itself in 16th place, with a total of 24 points from 4 wins, 12 draws, and 14 losses. In their previous match, they suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Sporting Braga. Their most recent outing ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw at home against Casa Pia. AVS has been relatively indifferent to home advantage, achieving similar results whether at home or away. In their last 30 games, they have mustered 2 victories, 6 draws, and 7 losses as visitors, scoring 12 times while conceding 24. At home, their record stands at 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses, with 12 goals scored and 21 conceded. Over the past 10 league matches away from home, AVS has managed just 1 win, along with 4 draws and 5 defeats, giving them 7 points from a possible 30. The team has shown defensive frailties, conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 fixtures, though they have managed to score regularly, finding the net in 7 of their last 10 matches in the league. Out of their 30 league games, they have struggled to overturn the scoreline in the 19 occasions when they conceded first, indicating a lack of resilience. A notable trend in their last 15 away games has seen them score 7 of their 11 goals during the minutes between 31 and 45.

AVS is facing mounting difficulties and currently occupies 16th position, having only accumulated 24 points from their 30 matches. The last 5 fixtures have been tough, with the team losing 4 and their only solace being a draw in the most recent encounter with Casa Pia. Securing all 3 points is critical for Rui Ferreira’s team, yet their upcoming clash at the Estádio da Luz presents a daunting challenge. However, the memory of their earlier fixture, which ended in a 1-1 draw, could inspire some hope among the AVS supporters.
