Background edit
Benfica's last appearance was in 2010, where the Portuguese champions lost to 2009–10 Taça de Portugal holders Porto 2–0, also at the Estádio Municipal de Aveiro.[4] In 15 Supertaça appearances prior to 2014, Benfica won 4, in 1980, 1985, 1989 and 2005.[3] Rio Ave made their first Supertaça appearance.
In Benfica's and Rio Ave's entire history, the two teams had met on 47 different occasions. Benfica had obtained 35 victories, while Rio Ave had won 3 times, with 9 encounters ending in a draw.[5] Before the Supertaça, the last meeting between both sides was in the domestic cup final, on 18 May 2014, with Benfica defeating Rio Ave 1–0 at the Estádio do Jamor. A first-half strike from Argentine winger Nicolás Gaitán granted Benfica a 25th cup trophy which would cap off a treble-winning season for the club.[6]
