Estrela finished last year’s contest in 12th position in the table, with 16 points from 16 games, but they have struggled since the start of 2025. The hosts have endured a tough start to the year, failing to win in four top-flight matches and are now heading towards a winless run to five games for the first time since September 2024. Their form has stopped them from advancing to the top of the standings, sending them into the relegation zone.
Although, despite Estrela’s struggles at home, only five clubs in the whole Primeira Liga have won more matches than them at home, 14 of their total 17 points were at Jose Gomes. Ahead of this match, they’ll prepare for a positive outcome, given Benfica’s recent away results. But, a loss could put them in the bottom two if SC Farense wins Sporting Lisbon this weekend.

- 1XBet Moneyline: 1.295
Benfica lost their last league appearance at the Estadio Municipal, taking a shocking 3-1 loss from Casa Pia, who are aiming for an European football ticket for next season. With 41 points recorded and only six points behind Sporting Lisbon at the top of the standings, the guests will desperately need a victory, as they hope to stop their losing run.
Having lost their last two away matches, another loss this weekend will make it three losses away from home for Benfica, for the first time since September 2010. Regardless, the visitors have always had remarkable visits to Estrela, with a 4-1 victory in a similar fixture last season. They have already defeated the hosts 7-0 this season in a cup game at Estadio da Luz.
MatchPlug Prediction For Estrela VS Benfica
Estrela have fared well at home for most of the term, but their form at home have been saddled with two straight losses. Benfica have been superior in fixtures between both clubs, and while they have had some setbacks on the road recently, the club still has some quality players that could subdue the hosts on Sunday.
Final Prediction: Benfica Moneyline.
