Benfica on their worst run at Estádio da Luz in years... | OneFootball

After the slip of Benfica in the injury time against Rio Ave, which resulted in a draw, the eagles are facing the worst sequence of home games since 2020, a time when the Club was under the technical command of Bruno Lage.

It was in the midst of Covid-19 that the reds faced the same difficulties that are currently being felt at Luz , with Benfica losing points at their stronghold also for three consecutive matches in 2019/2020. The record of this season after the eagles did not win points at home in their last three matches, registering a loss and two draws in the 'Inferno da Luz'.

The three consecutive slips at home in the 2019/2020 season occurred between February and March 2020, against Braga, Shakhtar Donetsk and Moreirense, immediately before the prolonged stoppage that the sports calendar suffered due to the pandemic the world was going through.

Already in June 2020, after the return of Benfica to the competitions, the Club recorded a sequence even worse than the two mentioned above. At that time, the Club da Luz would lose points at their Stadium five times in a row, suffering two losses and three draws.

With the next match to be played at Estádio da Luz taking place on September 26, Benfica has the opportunity to break this jinx against Gil Vicente, in a match for the seventh round of Liga Portugal Betclic. However, the clash will not be easy for the eagles, considering that the team of César Peixoto occupies the 4th position in the competition, with only one point less than the team of José Mourinho.
