We are looking to find out Benfica vs Chaves Prediction. On Saturday, October 29, Benfica, who is now atop the Primeira Liga standings, will host Chaves, who is currently in the ninth position. After 10 games, Benfica is the only unbeaten team in the Portuguese top division and is currently riding a two-game winning run. They defeated Porto, the defending champions and longtime rivals, 1-0 away last weekend thanks to a goal from Rafa Silva in the 72nd minute.
The league-leading Portuguese team kept up its impressive play in the UEFA Champions League, defeating Juventus 4-3 at home in midweek to advance. In order to win the group, Benfica will need to outperform PSG’s performance on matchday six and make up for a four-goal deficit that puts them behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain on goal differential. In contrast, Chaves has performed well for themselves this season and is unbeaten in three league games, winning their last two contests. Last week, they defeated Gil Vicente 3-1 at home.
32 times have seen the two teams square off, with every encounter occurring in the Primeira Liga. With 25 victories against Chaves’ 3, Benfica has dominated the competition; four of the games were drawn. In their last 12 victories against Chaves, the hosts are undefeated at home.

In two of their past three league road games, Chaves has failed to score.
Particularly at home, Benfica is in excellent form and the clear favorite. In three of their past four games in all competitions, they have scored at least four goals, so another productive performance is anticipated. While this has been happening, Chaves has had a respectable season, scoring 11 goals while conceding only 10. But they have never triumphed at Benfica, so the pattern should continue.
