The Portuguese top-flight kicks off with the Eagles facing one of the most surprising teams of the past season.

What was Famaliçao and Benfica's performance in the 2019-20 Primeira Liga season?

Famaliçao ended the 2019-20 campaign in sixth place of the Portuguese top-flight. This was the best finish ever for the Blue and white side. Joao Pedro Sousa's men spent most of the season in European competition spots, but they failed to accomplish one in the end.

Benfica ended the 2019-20 Primeira Liga season in second place. The Eagles were not able to keep up their good run in the first half of the season and ended second behind bitter rivals Porto. In fact, their drop in form caused the club to sack Bruno Lage as coach. He was replaced by Nelson Verissimo as an interim boss, which paved the way for Jorge Jesús' arrival to the club before the start of the campaign.

What is Famaliçao and Benfica's form prior to this game?

Famaliçao will have their first game of the season. The club coached by Joao Pedro Sousa was supposed to have a friendly match back in August against Real Sociedad, but it ended up being canceled.

Benfica had been impressive during their preseason games, but their only competitive match under new coach Jorge Jesús ended in nightmare, as they lost to PAOK 2-1 in their UEFA Champions League Qualifying match, which ended their hopes to make their way into the top club competition in the world.
