Famalicao

Form: LDLDW

Famalicao, who were on a two-match winning streak in the league, have seen a dip in form in the past few weeks as they have gone four matches without a win, recording two draws and two losses.

Their most recent match against Estoril Praia was the perfect opportunity for Famalicao to return to winning ways; however, falling behind to a Rodrigo Gomes goal in the 34th minute saw them succumb to a 1-0 defeat, extending their winless run on the road to two matches (L1, D1). 

With 36 points accumulated from 31 matches, Famalicao sits in eighth place in the Primeira Liga standings and has maintained a one-point cushion over ninth-placed Casa Pia.

With 76 points accumulated from 31 matches, Benfica sits in second place in the Primeira Liga standings and is five points adrift of first-placed Sporting CP.
