Benfica come into Matchweek 8 as one of the league's most potent sides, with four wins in their last five and a heavy goal tally that includes a 0-7 away rout. Vitória SC have struggled for goals and for results, losing all three of their away matches, though their chance creation has been better than their return of five goals suggests. Benfica are without the suspended Clément Lenglet at the back, but the gap in squad value and quality is huge. Benfica have won seven of the last ten meetings and Vitória have never won in that run, so the main question is how many Benfica score rather than who wins.

Benfica have gone past 2.5 goals in eight of their last ten and in all three recent home games, and Vitória have been leaking goals away from home. Vitória's own scoring problems pull the other way, but Benfica alone can carry this past the line.
