Benfica continue their pursuit of the top spot in the Primeira Liga and host struggling Farense in a match that looks one-sided on paper. "The Eagles" are second with 62 points, just three behind Sporting, and with a series of seven consecutive wins in the league. In the last round, they achieved a convincing 3-0 victory away at Gil Vicente and will aim to continue their impressive form at home, where they have 12 wins in 13 matches.
Farense can't find a way out of the crisisFarense are in the relegation zone with only 17 points and have gone 11 consecutive matches without a win. In their last game, they lost 0-1 to Braga, and their away form is also concerning - only one win in 13 visits this season and five consecutive winless matches away. The difference in quality between the two teams is noticeable.
Prediction for over 3.5 goalsThe previous match between these opponents ended 2-1 in favor of Benfica, and considering the current form of the hosts and the problems of Farense, I expect a high-scoring game. Benfica have attackers in top form and have already shown that they can score easily. Therefore, I predict over 3.5 goals in this match.
