Benfica vs Guimaraes Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 11 October 2026
๐ Among the top four, Benfica are the last to take the field in matchday 8: Porto, Sporting and Santa Clara all play earlier. Going into the round, Bruno Lage's side sit second with 16 points, but if their rivals all win, they could drop to fourth by Sunday. Vitรณria are down in 14th and have gone four rounds without a win.
Head-to-Head
๐ Last season Benfica beat Vitรณria twice without conceding. In November, in Guimarรฃes, two of the three goals were scored by defenders Tomรกs Araรบjo and Samuel Dahl. In March, in Lisbon, the scoring was closed by Beni Mukendi, who turned the ball into his own net. In the league, Vitรณria have now gone four consecutive head-to-head matches without scoring against Benfica.
Head-to-head statistics Benfica - Guimaraes
Benfica suffer their first defeat in 55 league matches
Benfica had gone 55 league rounds unbeaten, but that run came to an end at the Dragรฃo. Clรฉment Lenglet picked up two yellow cards in the first half, and Marco Silva's side spent most of the match with ten men. After the break, Alexander Bah equalised, but Porto responded with two goals in under ten minutes.
Away from home, Benfica had looked formidable before this: they thrashed Casa Pia 7-0 and kept clean sheets against Moreirense and Marรญtimo. At home, the picture is different. Benfica have conceded in each of their three home rounds and dropped points against Acadรฉmico de Viseu at the start of the season. After seven rounds they have scored 22 goals - the best return in the league.
Match Results: Benfica Lisbon
Vitoria have suffered four defeats, each by a single-goal margin.
Vitรณria won the Portuguese League Cup in January, and in the summer the club handed the team to Tiago Margarida. The new manager's start has not gone well: in the opening round Vitรณria lost at home to Arouca, and they did not pick up their first three points until the third. All four of their defeats have been by a single goal. In Viseu they conceded in stoppage time, and their striker Aliou Ndoy received a straight red card.
Vitรณria's main problem is their attack. In seven rounds they have scored just five goals: against Nacional, Samu missed a penalty, and in a goalless match against Casa Pia Margarida's side hit the woodwork twice. Their last match before the break was salvaged by defender Toni Borevkovic, who equalised against Moreirense right at the death. After the game, club president Rui Rodrigues came into the dressing room and demanded a different attitude from the players.

โฝ๏ธ Goals Prediction
Benfica have scored at least twice at home in 12 consecutive league matches. This season on their own ground they have seven goals in three rounds. Vitรณria, for their part, have conceded away in 11 of their last 12 league matches, and in all three so far this season. We are expecting at least two goals from the hosts. The bet is Benfica Team Total - Over 1.5.
๐ฉ Corners Prediction
Vitรณria have won more than two corners in 15 of their last 17 league matches, and in 11 of their last 12 head-to-head meetings with Benfica. Over their last 10 official matches, Margaridu's side have earned 59 corners. Benfica rarely allow opponents many corners, conceding just 24 over the same period. Against Vitรณria, though, that pattern does not hold. We are expecting at least three corners from the visitors. The bet is Vitรณria Team Total Corners - Over 2.5.
๐จ Yellow Cards Prediction
Vitรณria's players have picked up 24 yellow cards in their last 10 matches. Benfica's opponents have collected 20 bookings over the same period. The match is refereed by Luรญs Godinho, who, according to statistical services, has shown 51 yellow cards in nine matches this season. The visitors will have to defend a great deal in Lisbon, and we are expecting at least two cards from them. The bet is Vitรณria Team Total Yellow Cards - Over 1.5.
๐ Editorial Prediction
Fewer than four goals were scored in 8 of Vitรณria's last 9 league matches. This season, more than three goals have been scored in a match involving them just once - against Sporting. All three of the most recent head-to-head meetings produced exactly three goals. We're expecting a Benfica win by a one-goal margin. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
Will this prediction come true?
