Benfica aims to achieve their sixth straight win in all competitions when they host Alverca at Estadio da Luz on Monday night, concluding round 10 of the 2026-27 Liga Portugal season. Under Marco Silva's management, Benfica is currently in second place in the Primeira Liga, holding 22 points from nine games, trailing leaders Porto by five points. Alverca, on the other hand, sits in eighth place with 11 points from 27 available. The Eagles approach this match with high confidence, having won their last five matches across all competitions, scoring 16 goals while conceding only four. Their most recent victory occurred on Thursday, where they triumphed 4-1 over Gil Vicente in the Taca da Liga quarter-finals. Prior to that, they secured a 2-1 win against Santa Clara in their latest league match. Benfica has proven to be formidable at Estadio da Luz, remaining unbeaten in four league games this season, with three wins and one draw. They lead the league with 26 goals scored after nine matches. With Porto set to face bottom-placed Estoril Praia two days earlier, Benfica could find themselves further behind if they do not secure a win, especially after dropping points at home against newly promoted Academico de Viseu on matchday one. However, Benfica can take solace in their strong record against Alverca, having won their last six encounters, scoring at least two goals in each match, including two 2-1 victories last season. In contrast, Alverca arrives in Lisbon on the back of two consecutive losses without scoring, having been knocked out of the Taca de Portugal by Tondela and losing 1-0 at home to Arouca in the league. Before these defeats, Sergio Ferreira's team had been on a better run, achieving wins against Nacional, Rio Ave, and Famalicao. However, they now face the prospect of losing three straight matches for the first time this season.
