Benfica will play at Estádio dos Barreiros, in Funchal, in a game that marks the return of the reds to this venue after three years of absence. The last encounter between the two teams at that stadium took place in the 2022/23 season.
Marítimo is the home team hosting Benfica on this occasion. The Madeiran club is back in the top tier of Portuguese football, which explains the scheduling of this match between the two teams.
The reunion between Benfica and Marítimo at Barreiros thus represents the return of a competition that had not been held at that stadium since 2022/23, filling a three-year gap in the calendar of encounters between the two teams.
