In their path to capture the title is long time rivals FC Porto who the club would face in the quarter-final stage of the competition if both clubs are to get past their opponents. Porto's opponents in the round of 16 will be Famalicao.
Benfica will face Farense away from home on December 17 with the quarter-final stage set to take place around January 11 but in the meantime, Benfica will need to turn their attention to cross town rivals Sporting as both clubs are set to clash in a league encounter this Friday.
