Preview
After beating Sporting CP last round, Benfica retained their spot on top of the table. However, Porto also won their match, meaning that the Dragons sit just one point behind the Eagles, and any slip-ups could see a shake-up in the rankings heading into the Christmas break. Fortunately for Rui Vitoria's side, they have a strong record against upcoming opponents Estoril, who have less than half the points (15) of Benfica (32).
The last time Estoril got anything out of this game was back in May 2013, when they held Benfica to a 1-1 draw. One would have to go back to November 1950, to note when they were able to get the better of the Lisbon giants, when they squeezed past them 3-2. It goes without saying, then, that Estoril, who had to go to extra time in their midweek game, will have to put in 110 per cent to be able to earn what would be their first win in over half a century against Portugal's most decorated side.
