The Eagles, fresh from a staggering 7-0 demolition of Casa Pia, sit seventh but carry genuine title aspirations, while Estoril languish in sixteenth, still searching for a first league win this campaign. With only a single goal scored across three matches, the visitors face a daunting task at a ground where Benfica have won their last ten Primeira Liga meetings against this opponent.

Holsgrove (Muscle Injury) Low confidenceA mirror of formations sets the stage at the Estádio da Luz, with both sides lining up in a 4-2-3-1. Benfica's shape looks well-grounded across multiple credible sources, and Vangelis Pavlidis leads the line with Georgiy Sudakov providing creative support behind him in what promises to be a fluid attacking unit.Estoril's XI carries a lower degree of certainty, drawn largely from recent match patterns rather than confirmed team news, so some adjustments before kickoff remain plausible. Should Xeka feature in the visitors' double pivot, his experience will be central to any hope of disrupting Benfica's rhythm on home soil.

That historical dominance, combined with three wins and two draws from their last five outings, makes the home win at 1.14 the standout selection. Estoril have managed just a single goal across three league fixtures and look fragile at the back. Over 2.5 goals at 1.36 also appeals, given Benfica's nine-goal haul in two matches.
