- In total, their record stands as eight wins, seven draws, and 19 losses
Team news
Paços De Ferreira are coming into this game having started their 2016/2017 domestic campaign with a draw. In fact, the hosts have not won a league fixture since April 30th, and whilst they will be naturally hoping to pick up their first win of this season, their overall track record against Sporting CP doesn't look promising.
Meanwhile, Sporting CP, who finished second under the tutelage of Jorge Jesus, began their season by defeating Maritimo 2-0. This will definitely be of relief to their fans, especially since the team performed quite poorly in their pre-season fixtures. With a clash against fellow "Big Three" member Porto coming up on matchday three, Sporting CP will be seeking to kick off that fixture with maximum points in the bank from this game.

Match facts and other historical stats - Benfica vs Vitória Setúbal
- Benfica haven't lost to Vitória Setúbal in league play since May 10, 1999; however, they were also defeated in a cup match on May 29, 2005
- The head-to-head record between these two sides stands as 32 wins for Benfica, three for Vitória Setúbal and seven draws
Team news
Both Benfica and Vitória Setúbal will be coming into this game having defeated Tondela and Belenenses respectively. Coincidentally, it also happened to be by the exact same scoreline: 2-0. Fans of Benfica were surely worried before the start of this season due to the departures of key men Renato Sanches and Nicolas Gaitan, but the Eagles, who also won the Portuguese Super Cup earlier this month, have attempted to mitigate this by bringing in a mix of experienced players and promising starlets.
After leading the team to the league title in his debut season, Rui Vitoria will be aspiring for more than just domestic glory in his sophomore term at the club, and supporters will be certainly eager to see if last season was a sign of positive things to come under their team's new manager.
