Benfica vs Nacional: the head-to-head
Benfica’s recent dominance is unmistakable, having won every encounter in the current streak, the most recent triumph coming in a 2-0 victory on 12 April 2026. Since the first meeting in 2016, the two sides have faced each other 12 times, with Benfica winning 11, Nacional yet to secure a win and one draw. Across these fixtures, 47 goals have been scored, averaging 3.92 per game, and the matches have seen a 100% share of games with two or more goals, 75% with three or more, and 50% where both clubs found the net. Benfica’s 41 goals to Nacional’s six reflect a stark scoring disparity. At home Benfica have played six games, winning five and drawing one, while on the road they have won all six. Their next meeting is scheduled for 6 December 2026.
