Command Analysis

Benfica

Current form

Today, Benfica has the opportunity to take the clear first place in the table. Sporting has started to lose points often and allowed their competitors to catch up. On the eve of the upcoming match, the Eagles are in third place and are two points behind the leading duo of Sporting and Porto, but their competitors have already played their matches in this round. Bruno Lage charges have been the most convincing against their main opponents recently - four wins and one draw in five previous matches. In the last round, Benfica won away from home against Nacional with a score of 2:0.

Sanchez will not play today due to injury.

Estoril

Current form

Estoril does not have any big goals in the championship, after all, the selection of players is not the strongest. Nevertheless, they manage to stay out of the relegation zone. With 14 points scored, the Canaries are in 12th place in the table, while the gap from the "red" zone is only two points. In the last round, Estoril lost to Casa Pia (0:2) at home. It should be noted that the team has played six away matches this season, in which they tied three times and suffered three defeats.

Tip and bets

TipEstoril with a handicap (+2.5)

1.90

Undoubtedly, the hosts will be extremely motivated today, as they have a chance to become the sole leader of the Primeira Liga in case of victory. There is a high probability that Benfica will score three points on the basis of their class. However, we would not expect a rout, as Estoril is a fairly organized team, and does not often allow itself to have outright failures in defense. Plus, in the last five head-to-head confrontations, the Eagles have never been able to win with an advantage of more than two goals.

Our prediction is a victory for Estoril with an Asian handicap (+2.5) at odds of 1.90

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal under 3.5 goals

1.98

Bet on total

It is obvious that the visitors will bet on defense today, since the desire to play open football will clearly lead to failure. Only once in the five previous personal meetings were more than three goals scored. We do not expect a very productive game today.

The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.98

Bet on the first half

Let note that only once in the five previous head-to-head encounters did Benfica win by more than one goal in the opening 45 minutes. We think the visitors will hold off the opening onslaught of their superior opponent today.

Forecast - Estoril win in the first half with Asian handicap (+1) with odds of 2.00

Will the prediction win?
