History favours Benfica ahead of Casa Pia clash | OneFootball

Benfica has not lost to Casa Pia at Estádio da Luz for over a century. The team from Pina Manique will travel to the Eagles’ stronghold next Sunday, November 9, to play another match in the national championship, but they do so without history on their side.

Benfica has almost all the historical statistics in their favor. The main one is a striking round number: it has been 100 years since Casa Pia’s last victory at Estádio da Luz, something that last happened in the distant year of 1925.

Over a hundred years ago, Casa Pia and Benfica met in the eighth round of the national championship. On that occasion, the Geese got the better of the Eagles, ultimately winning 3-1, the last Casapian triumph at Estádio da Luz to this day.

Since that year of 1925, the record of the Pina Manique team at Estádio da Luz does not bode well for Casa Pia. The Lisbon side has played 17 matches at the Reds’ ground in the last 100 years, losing 15 times and drawing only twice.

There is, however, one statistic in Casa Pia’s favor: the last match between the two teams, at the time at the Geese’s home, ended in a Benfica defeat. That match ended 3-1, interestingly, the same result as the last time Casa Pia won at Estádio da Luz.
