Alverca are currently in 15th place in the league standings with one point to their name. They have maintained a one-point cushion over the relegation zone and are three points behind eighth-placed FC Arouca.
On Monday, they traveled to Estadio Jose Gomes to lock horns with Estrela Amadora. In that match, they registered their first point of the season after a thrilling 2-2 draw. However, that result was disappointing, considering they squandered a healthy two-goal lead.
In light of that result, this saw their two-match losing streak against Moreirense and Braga come to an end. Still, that doesn't make the situation any better, as they are now winless in three league games heading into this clash.

Alverca find themselves in a very tough position to secure their first home league win or any for that matter. This is the first meeting between these two teams, but the quality is already evident from the get-go, with the home team falling on the wrong side. Nothing much can be expected from them in this one.
Benfica can make life difficult for Alverca in this fixture. I see them winning by a big margin against an inferior opponent. That said, I'm supporting them to cover the Asian handicap spread of -2.5.
