Benfica host Alverca on 2 November 2026 at 23:15 in the Primeira Liga. The Eagles won 2-1 at Santa Clara on the weekend to extend their winning run to four consecutive matches across all competitions. Vangelis Pavlidis has scored nine goals this season and remains Benfica's primary attacking outlet. Jhon Duran is suspended. Alverca lost 1-0 to Arouca and suffered a significant blow when defender Steven Baseya was sent off after nine minutes, leaving them short-handed for this trip to Lisbon.
Form and H2H
Benfica's home record over their last ten matches reads nine wins, zero draws, and one loss, with an average of 2.90 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. Alverca's away form is considerably weaker: three wins, three draws, and four losses, averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.29 conceded per game. The two sides met twice in 2026. Benfica won 2-1 at home on 8 February, and Alverca fell 1-2 away on 31 August.
Best bet
Benfica 3-0 Alverca is the pick. The hosts score 2.90 goals per home game and face visitors who concede 1.29 per away match while missing a suspended defender. Benfica's defensive strength at home, combined with Alverca's road frailty and personnel shortage, points to a decisive home victory with a clean sheet.
