They are scoring 2.89 goals a game, which ranks 1st of 18 in the Primeira Liga against a divisional average of 1.37.
At the other end they concede 0.89 a game — 5th best in the division, where the average side ships 1.37.
Home and away form is close to identical (2.50 points per game at home, 2.40 on the road), which is unusual and makes them harder to fade in either fixture.
Overall that is 22 points from 9 matches, 2nd in the table and an 88th percentile profile against the rest of the division.
Benfica grade out elite for attack and strong for defence. That shape — a side whose attack carries them and whose defence is the department with the least margin over the rest of the division — is why the engine prices their fixtures the way it does: a projected margin that tracks the goal difference rather than the reputation.

Every prediction on this club was published before kick-off and graded against the final score afterwards. Nothing has been removed, including the misses — the strip above shows them alongside the hits. We are not publishing a hit-rate percentage for Benfica yet: 25 graded picks is too small a sample for one to mean anything, and a precise-looking figure off a sample this size would be misleading rather than transparent. The site-wide accuracy record, which pools every league, is the number worth reading until this one catches up.
Benfica are covered by the 8th Day Engine, which publishes a projected scoreline and a win probability for every Primeira Liga fixture before kick-off.
They currently sit 2nd in the Primeira Liga on 22 points from 9 matches, with 26 scored and 8 conceded for a goal difference of +18.
The engine grades them A overall — an 88th percentile side across attack, defence, consistency, momentum and both home and away form, measured against every other club in the division rather than against reputation.
We hold 25 graded predictions on Benfica so far, 19 of which called the right result. That is too small a sample to quote a hit rate from, so we do not quote one; every pick is listed above, misses included.
Benfica appear in Primeira Liga and UEFA Europa League in our data, and every fixture in each of them is modelled the same way.
Predictions on this page are modelled estimates published for transparency, not betting advice.
Ratings on this page are percentiles against the other clubs in the Primeira Liga, recomputed from the current league table every time it refreshes. Records, goals and home/away splits are the complete league figures; anything labelled “graded” covers only the matches we published a prediction on.
