At the start of the 18th round of the Liga NOS, the team led by Jorge Jesus appears in the 4th position of the league table, with the same 34 points from Paços de Ferreira, already 11 away from Sporting’s leadership. Last Friday, Benfica reached the fourth consecutive game without winning for the championship, returning to be blank after the defeat with Sporting (1-0, away).

In the last match, they have lost against Moreirense at home by (0‑2), after in the previous match they have lost away, in a game against Nacional, by (2‑1).

This is a team that scores a few times first: they only opened the scoring in 3 of their last 17 games for the Premier League, of those 3 they reached the break in advantage in 2 and won in the late 90 ‘in 1. In 17 games in this competition , suffered the first goal 13 times and only managed 2 turns on the scoreboard.

The Famalicão team ended the first round of the championship with a clearly insufficient sample for their maintenance ambitions and reached this 18th round to occupy the 17th and penultimate place in the overall leaderboard, with the same 14 points from the Boavista, just one above Farense. Last Thursday, the Famalicense team debuted under the technical command of Jorge Silas, but far from the desired form. It is that, in the reception to Moreirense, Famalicão was defeated (0-2), in a game where objectivity and creativity were lacking in the levels of ball possession with which it ended. In this way, the Minho team takes three consecutive defeats before visiting Luz.
