Casa Pia vs Benfica Prediction 17 August 2026
🔊 In a 2nd-round match of the Portuguese championship, Casa Pia will play against Benfica. The visiting side have a significantly stronger squad. But the start-of-season factor has to be taken into account: even the big clubs slip up sometimes. Attack will likely come to the fore in this match. After all, both defences are looking shaky so far.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last match between these two sides took place on 6 April. The teams shared the points (1:1). However, looking at the last 5 head-to-head meetings, Benfica do have the edge (2 wins against one and 2 draws).
Head-to-head statistics Casa Pia - Benfica
Casa Pia Team Overview
In the first round of the Primeira Liga Casa Pia lost away to Marítimo (0:1).
The match stats were as follows (Casa Pia vs Marítimo):
- possession: 60% vs 40%;
- corners: 6 vs 2;
- fouls: 13 vs 17;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 2;
- shots on target: 4 vs 4.
In the match against Maritimo, the team's attack didn't work out particularly well. However, a lot can be put down to the away factor. At home, the team will play a bit more boldly. But one thing is already clear - they will be the second side: sitting back against Benfica makes no sense, and is simply unrealistic. As for their own defence, there's no reason to expect anything good against one of the best teams in the country. At best - a couple of successful counter-attacks or set pieces.

Benfica Lisbon Team Overview
Benfica played the return leg of their Europa League qualifying match against Hearts (1:1) in Scotland in the middle of last week.
The match statistics are as follows (Benfica vs Hearts):
- possession: 61% vs 39%;
- corners: 11 vs 0;
- fouls: 13 vs 5;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 1;
- shots on target: 5 vs 3.
Benfica started the season not too successfully: they drew with Académico de Viseu (2:2). Midweek there was a Europa League qualifying match where they drew with Hearts, but advanced to the decisive qualifying round thanks to a strong first leg (6:1). Overall, the squad is building form. There are plenty of resources to dominate on the domestic stage. And in terms of attack, the team genuinely has enormous potential. It's not out of the question that they score 3+. But you should always factor in the probability of conceding - at the start of the season the team has been struggling badly at the back.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In this match, Casa Pia can hardly expect to pick up any points at all. But the team must put up a decent fight in front of their own fans. Benfica will play from a position of strength. They have maximum attacking resources. If things don't go to plan, players of comparable quality will come off the bench - ones who won't just maintain the level but will actually improve the game. Our editorial team believes there will be plenty of bright attacking moments in this match. The hosts could also surprise with a goal of their own. The match will likely end 1:3. We're playing the bet on total over 2.5 goals.
