Centenary record gives Benfica a boost ahead of Casa Pia clash | OneFootball

Casa Pia has not won at Estádio da Luz for over 100 years. The Gansos team will visit the Encarnados’ stronghold next Sunday, November 9, to play the match corresponding to the 11th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, in a Lisbon derby.

Benfica has almost all the historical records on its side. 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 way back in 1925.

More than a hundred years ago, Casa Pia and Benfica met in the eighth round of the national championship. On that occasion, the Gansos got the better of the Águias, ending up winning 3-1, the last Casa Pia 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 Encarnados’ stronghold in the last 100 years, losing 15 times and drawing only twice.

There is, however, one fact that favors Casa Pia: the last match between the two teams, at the time at the Gansos’ home, ended with a Benfica defeat. That match ended 3-1, interestingly, the same result as the last time Casa Pia won at Estádio da Luz.
