Benfica lock horns with Penafiel on Saturday – 26 de novembro –, at 8:45 pm, in Catedral, a stronghold where it is undefeated in the competition.

Undefeated in 2022/23 – only equaled by Paris Saint-Germain–, the eagles go into the 27th official match in all competitions, the second during the World Cup 2022, which removes six players from this match: António Silva, João Mário, and Gonçalo Ramos (Portugal), Otamendi and Enzo (Argentina) and Bah (Denmark).
In the 26 previous, Benfica has 23 wins and three draws, which allows it to present an average of 2.77 points per game, something that is unparalleled in the top 10 of European football.
Only Benfica and PSG have not lost in Europe's biggest leagues, but the eagles have the best points average: 2.77 per game
The performance in a fortress called Estádio da Luz contributed a lot to these numbers. In 12 matches played at home, Benfica only failed to beat Paris Saint-Germain (1-1 draw). Otherwise, 11 wins, five of them were routs, a connection with the goal that can only be found in Germany. FC Bayern is the only team from the old continent's top leagues to achieve the same five routs. Roger Schmidt's men are thus ahead of the likes of Napoli, Barcelona, Arsenal, and PSG.
With 40 goals scored at Estádio da Luz, the reds have an average of 3.33 goals per match, only surpassed by the Bavarians' 3.5 goals every 90 minutes at the Allianz Arena. At the Cathedral, the goal poacher has been Gonçalo Ramos, the top scorer of the Liga Bwin League - nine goals - and recently called up for the 2022 World Cup, with 11 goals in 12 games (an average of 0.92 per match). Only Lewandowski (Barcelona) scored more: 12 goals at Camp Nou.
Of the League Cup winners, Benfica is the only one that has never lost at home and has the best streak: 20 matches in a row winning at home
Note that Benfica, in Luz, beats all competition in the average points obtained at home: 2.83 per match and reached five games without conceding a goal (clean sheet).
The next step is in the League Cup, a competition where the eagles are flying higher with seven wins in eight finals, and against Penafiel. Estádio da Luz is the chosen stage, a place that has proven to be a real stronghold in the competition.
As the home team, the Glorioso has 28 matches, with 23 wins and five draws, being the only League Cup winner - V. Setúbal, Benfica, SC Braga, Moreirense, and Sporting - that has never lost at home. Benfica also has the best home streak in the competition: 20 matches in a row winning at home. It is worth mentioning that the Reds, at home, scored 57 goals (2,04 per game) and conceded 16 (0,57).
