Sport Lisboa e Benfica vs Vitória SC Prediction Primeira Liga · Oct 11, 2026

Analysis

Benfica go into round 8 second in the table with 16 points from seven games, 22 goals scored and only 7 conceded, and they have won four of their last five: 4-0 at Moreirense, 3-0 at Marítimo, 3-1 against Gil Vicente and 2-1 over Estoril, with the single blemish a 1-3 defeat at unbeaten leaders Porto. Vitória SC sit 14th on just 5 points from seven rounds, with a league-low attacking return of five goals for and eight against. Their last five tell the same story: only three goals scored, one win (1-0 v Nacional), two blanks (0-0 v Casa Pia, 0-1 at Braga) and a 1-2 loss at Académico de Viseu. That is the decisive matchup — a side averaging 0.7 goals per game visiting a team averaging over three at home, which has kept two clean sheets in its last three away trips. Benfica's only dropped points came against the one opponent in this league currently better than them, so anything other than a comfortable home win would be a genuine surprise.
