Benfica is preparing to face Gil Vicente at the Estádio da Luz, seeking to maintain the excellent positive momentum the team has demonstrated in recent weeks of the League. Under the command of Marco Silva, the Eagles intend to achieve their fifth consecutive victory in the national championship, a feat they haven't achieved since the 2024/25 season.
After a less successful start with a two-goal draw against Ac. Viseu, the team managed to react expressively and accumulate several favorable results that place them at the top of the league table.
The last time Benfica achieved such a victorious streak was under the guidance of Bruno Lage, when the team finished in second place. At that time, between February 2nd and April 6th, the Lisbon side accumulated nine consecutive victories, defeating teams such as Moreirense, Santa Clara, Boavista, Nacional, and Rio Ave.
The article suggests that Marco Silva can achieve in just two months something that Mourinho did not achieve in nine months of work at Benfica, referring to the possibility of matching or surpassing that impressive series of consecutive victories that the club previously achieved.
