Benfica vs Portimonense – Predictions, Odds, & Best Betting Tips

Benfica to win 2-1
Benfica might have failed to win the last two matches but a return to home comforts may prove to be crucial for the table leaders to rediscover the winning touch. Benfica have been able to register four wins in the last six games against Portimonense. Even though Portimonense are looking to get a shock second consecutive victory – following the 1-0 success back in October 2021 – at the Estádio da Luz, it is unlikely to go down their route.
Total goals over 3.5
The last two matches have seen Benfica manage a grand total of just one goal. This is quite unusual for the team which has been able to get the highest so far in the Portuguese Primeira Liga this season. Portimonense have shipped 16 goals in 14 league matches this season while Benfica have hit a whopping 37 goals. After averaging almost 3 goals per game in the last six meetings with Portimonense, there are strong reason to expect plenty of goals in the upcoming meeting.
Both teams to score – yes
Even though Portimonense have struggled for results, they have managed at least a goal in four out of the last five league outings. Benfica’s defence less likely to be in a period of self-doubt and their confidence is also quite low at this juncture.
Benfica vs Portimonense: Match Preview and Team News
Benfica
Benfica have gone through the strange sequence of back-to-back games without a victory in two different competitions. For a team that has dominated proceedings since the start of the season, this is a very difficult period. Manager Roger Schmidt is also having to deal with transfer speculation about his top players like Enzo Fernandez. The hosts will be without Rafa Silva due to suspension while David Neres is doubtful.
Portimonense
Portimonense are coming on the back of consecutive losses in the league. Manager Paulo Sergio has also watched the team suffer a defeat in four out of the last five games in all competitions. Portimonense head into the upcoming matches without Welinton Júnior and Carlinhos because of injury problems.
