And this? Benfica have dominated Nacional for years, one stat stuns | OneFootball

Recent history between Benfica and Nacional shows a clear dominance on the part of the Eagles, with numbers that reinforce the Reds’ superiority over the past few years. The historical record became even more favorable for the Eagles with the win last Sunday.

In total, Benfica have now gone 24 consecutive matches without losing to Nacional, an impressive run that demonstrates consistency in this fixture. Within that streak, 18 wins in the last 19 meetings between the two teams also stand out.

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 at their ground, a record that confirms the Eagles’ strength in front of their supporters.

To find the Reds’ 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, the team coached by Jorge Jesus 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 will take the field next Sunday, April 19, against Sporting. The eternal derby, corresponding to Matchday 30 of the Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played at 6:00 pm at the Estádio José Alvalade.
