Before the season began, Benfica, alongside Sporting, was seen as the main contender for the championship title. However, they have yet to live up to that expectation. In five matches, Roger Schmidt's team has made several mistakes and currently sits in seventh place in the standings. Last week, the Eagles kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 2:1 away victory against Red Star Belgrade.

Injuries and Suspensions

Thiago Gouveia and Renato Sanches are currently injured.

Interesting Betting Trends

In their last five matches, Benfica has secured four victories.

Tip and bets

2.17handicap (-2) on Benfica

Benfica is currently sitting in seventh place in the standings, and it's clear that this position is unsatisfactory for one of the main title contenders. Today, the Eagles will undoubtedly be in a determined mood, with motivation running high. They have a significant advantage in class over their opponents, and it makes sense to favor them, especially since Boavista has not been impressive at the start of the season.

We believe the home team stands no chance. Our prediction is a Asian handicap (-2) on Benfica. This bet is offered at odds of 2.17.

Total Bet

Benfica is undoubtedly the favorite, and they must secure a victory; anything less would be unacceptable. Expect significant pressure on Boavista's goal right from the first half. It's unlikely that the "chess players" will manage a solid defensive performance today. However, the "eagles" also face defensive challenges, regularly conceding goals, making a goal exchange a reasonable expectation.

Bet – Both Teams to Score. This wager is offered at 2.09.
