Estrela vs Benfica Prediction

Estrela Amadora host Benfica on 8 November 2026 at 23:30 in the 11th round of Liga Portugal. Benfica arrive as heavy favourites after winning their last seven matches and sit second in the table with 25 points, five behind Porto. Estrela have collapsed since an unbeaten start, losing four of their last six and failing to score in two consecutive home games.

Benfica's attack has been relentless this season. They have scored 27 goals, the most in the league, and have not lost a match without scoring. Estrela's defence has been porous: they have conceded at least one goal in 12 consecutive matches and have failed to win a single game without conceding this term. At home, Estrela have conceded at least twice in four of their five matches.

Form and H2H

Benfica won 1-0 away at Alverca last week to extend their run to eight victories in their last nine league games. Estrela's only bright spot during their downturn was a 2-1 Portuguese Cup win over Fazendense, but they have not beaten Benfica in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions. The teams met most recently with Benfica winning 4-0.

Best bet

Benfica Total over 2 goals. Benfica have scored 27 goals this season and face an Estrela side that has conceded in every consecutive match. Estrela's home record shows repeated heavy defeats. Benfica's attacking form and Estrela's defensive fragility make a high-scoring performance from the visitors the most likely outcome.
