Benfica have enjoyed a sensational campaign in the Primeira Liga this season. The Eagles are currently four points clear at the top of the table and a home game with struggling Aves on Friday night gives them an opportunity to stretch their lead at the top of the table.
Bruno Lage’s team have produced a near-perfect league campaign so far, winning 14 of their 15 league matches and suffering just one defeat. Their only blip in the current league campaign was a 1-0 defeat by rivals Porto in August.
Since the defeat, the Reds have recorded 12 straight wins. In fact, Benfica have won 24 of their last 25 Primeira Liga games dating back to last season.
Great start to 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣

The record is not surprising considering that they were champions in the last campaign, but it is still impressive nevertheless.
The Eagles have been impressive at both ends of the pitch of late, as they have scored at least twice in six of their last seven league outings, while also keeping clean sheets in nine of their last 12 Primeira Liga outings.
When it comes to playing at the Estadio da Luz, the home side has won 12 of their last 13 matches, with that defeat against Porto once again the only blip.
Aves have endured a woeful campaign. The home sides excellence is nearly matched by the visitor’s poor recent record in the Portuguese top-flight. They are currently rock bottom of the table, having picked up just six points from their 15 Primeira Liga games so far this season.
The fact that Aves have lost 13 of their last 14 league matches illustrates just how big a task that they have on their hands on Friday night.
Forebet predicts that this game will go with the form book with Benfica recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
