Benfica continue their pursuit of the title in the Primeira Liga, after crushing ABC 6-0 in their last match, extending their unbeaten streak to 12 games. The team is tied on points with the league leader Sporting, and the lead over third-placed Sporting Braga seems solid enough for a place in the Champions League. Besides the results, Benfica can also boast a strong performance in their away games, winning their last six matches on the road.
Estoril seeks a good finishTheir opponent Estoril also recorded a victory in the last round - 3-1 against Casa Pia as visitors, but they are in a more modest position in the table. The team is eighth and significantly behind the European competition zone. Despite the momentary success, the hosts have not won at home in their last three championship matches. Furthermore, they lost their last meeting with Benfica 0-3 and will find it difficult to oppose the strong form of the opponent.
Prediction: Benfica to win with a -1 handicapThe difference in the standings, current form, and the result of the previous direct clash speak in favor of the guests. Considering all this, it seems justified to expect another convincing victory for Benfica, with a win by at least two goals difference appearing entirely achievable.
