Benfica head to Casa Pia again, stats sound a warning | OneFootball

Since Casa Pia returned to the Primeira Liga, Benfica have not managed to score more than one goal in away matches at their opponents’ ground. The statistic highlights the difficulties the Eagles have faced in these fixtures. In total, they have recorded two narrow wins and one defeat.

In the 2022/23 season, the match between Casa Pia and Benfica was played at the Estádio Municipal de Leiria. In that game, the Eagles won 1-0, thanks to a goal by Gonçalo Ramos, who paid tribute to Fernando Chalana. Despite the win, the slim margin maintained the trend.

Then, in 2023/24, the same pattern was repeated in Rio Maior. Benfica once again won 1-0, this time with a goal from Brazilian forward Arthur Cabral. Once again, the Eagles found it difficult to extend their lead against the Casa Pia side.

Last season, however, Casa Pia came out on top and won 3-1. Benfica actually took the lead through a goal from Di María, but then suffered a comeback. Cassiano, Nuno Moreira and Jérémy Livolant scored for the Geese. Curiously, that result represents the Eagles’ most recent defeat in league matches.

So, in the three matches played since Casa Pia’s return to the top flight, Benfica have scored just one goal each time. The record shows how competitive these encounters have been, and the clash between the two Lisbon sides promises to be another evenly balanced one.
