Benfica will take on Estrela da Amadora in their third Liga Portugal fixture at the Estadio da Luz on Saturday.
Benfica are heading into the fixture on the back of their first win of the season in their second game against Casa Pia. They had lost their season opener and now the objective would be to string wins together.
The visitors struggled in their last outing, losing 3-0 against Famalicao. For them, it will be an uphill battle to deny Benfica points this weekend.
