Coming off a very disappointing defeat at home against Zenit St. Petersburg on Tuesday, Jorge Jesus will want his players to pick up where they left off last week.
Benfica traveled to the Estádio do Bonfim to take on V. Setúbal, coming away with an emphatic 0-5 victory. The águias remain undefeated in league play, as they now welcome 10th placed Moreirense to the nation's capital.
Tuesday's meeting with the Russian side didn't go as well.
Former Porto forward Hulk got the visitors on the board early on, and after Artur Moraes was sent off midway through the first half, things got much more difficult for Benfica.
The newly promoted side comes into this match with just one goal scored from their last three league fixtures.
A one goal draw last week at home against Rio Ave will have given them some confidence, with the vilacondenses top of the table at the time. They will now try to take that boost of morale in the Estádio da Luz, where they haven't played since the 2012/13 campaign.
From their last 11 fixtures across all competitions dating back to 2002, Moreirense has not defeated the Portuguese champions. Benfica has won eight, while drawing just three. What will offer the visitors some confidence is that they were only shutout in four of those meetings.
