Benfica will face Casa Pia at Estadio da Luz on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have performed brightly in the league this season and now sit third in the league table, just four points behind rivals Porto at the top of the pile.
They picked up a comfortable 3-0 win over 10-man Vitoria in their last league outing, with three different players getting on the scoresheet in the second half, including 20-year-old João Rêgo, who netted his maiden Primeira Liga goal. Jose Mourinho's men, however, saw their struggles on the continental stage continue during the week as they lost 1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen to make it four defeats in four in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Casa Pia, meanwhile, have been poor in the league this season and will need to make significant improvements if they are to secure a fifth consecutive campaign in the Portuguese top flight.
The visitors suffered a 5-3 home defeat to Estrela Amadora last weekend, leaving the side 16th in the table, just four points above winless AVS at the bottom of the pile.

Benfica vs Casa Pia Prediction
As Aguias have won their last four domestic games by an aggregate scoreline of 13-0, and will be looking forward to their next challenge. They are undefeated at home in the league this season and will head into Sunday's game as overwhelming favorites.
Os Gansos are on a run of back-to-back defeats and are winless in their last five league matches. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams, coupled with their contrasting form, could see the visitors lose this one.
