Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with some football data, specifically looking at “benfica vs” something. I didn’t have a specific opponent in mind, I just wanted to see what I could find and play with.

Digging for Data
First things first, I needed some data. I started by just searching “benfica vs” on the web. Nothing special there.
I started browsing, trying to get a feel for recent games, scores, maybe some player stats. Basically, I looked around for anything to grab and work with.
Playing with the Results
After gathering some data, I started to organize my data, making sure to collect some data point that is important to me.
- Game Date
- Opponent
- Final Score (Benfica goals – Opponent goals)
- And Maybe some notes, like if it was a home or away game.
It’s not super fancy, but it gave me some basic info to look at.
I put my findings in my notebook.
So, that’s pretty much it. It wasn’t a deep dive, more like dipping my toes in. But hey, it was fun to poke around and see what I could find about Benfica’s recent matches. I might try to do something more detailed later, maybe compare their performance against different teams, or look at specific player stats over time. We’ll see!
