At home, the numbers are even more striking. Benfica have never lost to the black-and-whites at the Estádio da Luz, recording 23 wins and 5 draws in 28 matches played on their own ground, a record that confirms the Eagles’ strength in front of their fans.

To find Benfica’s last defeat against the Madeira side, you have to go back to the 2010/11 season, in the second round of the league. At the time, Jorge Jesus’s team lost 2-1 at Choupana, with goals from Luís Alberto and Orlando Sá, while Carlos Martins scored in the closing moments.

It should be remembered that the red-and-white club return to action next Sunday, 19 April, against Sporting. The eternal derby, valid for matchday 30 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, will kick off at 6:00 pm at the Estádio José Alvalade.
