Farense - Benfica. Betting Tip (odds 2.15) and bets on the Portuguese Cup match

Current form

Farense approached the start of the Primeira Liga season as one of the main candidates for relegation – so far this status has not been called into question. With 14 points, Tose Marreco’s team is in the penultimate place in the table, but at the same time is not in a hopeless situation, lagging behind the saving 15th place by only one point. In the last round, the lions sensationally took points away from Santa Clara, drawing a goalless draw with the opponent. Thus, the series without defeats in the championship lasted to three matches.
