Numbers don’t lie: thrashing Moreirense highlights Benfica’s fine form | OneFootball

The thrashing against Moreirense confirmed the good form that Benfica is currently enjoying. Through social media, the statistics portal Playmaker highlighted the recent results of the team led by José Mourinho who, all things considered, has gone seven matches without a loss.

In a post on the social network X, the portal revealed that the emphatic victory in Moreira de Cónegos — achieved by Vangelis Pavlidis and Fredrik Aursnes — further highlighted Benfica’s good run of form, increasing their unbeaten streak to seven games, the best run since José Mourinho took over as head coach.

Moreover, in the last seven matches, the Eagles played five away games. It’s fair to say that playing away from home is not a problem for the Reds. This record includes victories against Vitória de Guimarães (3-0), Atlético CP (2-0), Ajax (2-0), Nacional (2-1), and Moreirense (4-0).

On top of this impressive feat, Benfica, in their last five matches away from Estádio da Luz, conceded only one goal, which happened on their trip to Madeira, where they triumphed over the islanders in an epic comeback during stoppage time. Finally, the thrashing against Moreirense revealed that the Eagles have not lost in the Liga Portugal Betclic for 29 consecutive matches.

After winning away at Moreirense, breaking a four-match winless streak at the home of the Moreira de Cónegos team, the Club of Luz strengthened their third place in Liga Portugal Betclic, with 32 points, three behind Sporting (35) and five behind Porto, hoping that the Dragons slip up this round.
