Matches between these two sides have always been high-scoring.

Benfica have made the most out of their preseason tour after testing themselves against some of the best teams. The Eagles started their pre-season campaign with a thumping 5-0 win over league opponents Farense. 

Since then, the Eagles have drawn against LaLiga outfit Celta Vigo and Premier League side Brentford. However, they did pull off an impressive 3-1  win over Almeria to continue their good run of form. They will now face Feyenoord before taking on Fulham in their final friendly match before the upcoming season kicks off. 

Feyenoord are going through a transition period under their new manager Brain Priske who has taken the reins from Arne Slot, who is now spearheading Liverpool in the Premier League. The team have made excellent progress under the new manager, winning all three matches. 

They started their preseason campaign against FC Dordrecht, registering an impressive 4-0 win. The Rotterdam outfit then dispatched Belgium outfit Genk in a 3-1 win followed by a narrow victory over another Belgium side Cercle Brugge.
