Estrela – Benfica: Portuguese League match forecast
On February 2, Estrela will play Benfica in the 20th round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. In the last personal meeting, the Eagles defeated the upcoming opponent with a score of 7:0, should we expect the same confident Victoria today? – the answer is in our forecast. What are the best bets for the match?
Command Analysis
Estrela da Amadora
PortugalCurrent form
Estrela does not have a strong enough squad by the standards of the Primeira to set the highest goals for themselves. The team is predictably fighting for survival, and the upcoming game is coming up in 16th place, with a play-off zone for maintaining a residence permit. At the same time, the saving 15th place is only one point away. In the previous round, Estrela scored one point on the road against Famalikan (0-0). It should be noted that the Tricolours scored 14 of their total 17 points on their own field, in many ways a typical home team is in front of us.

Benfica
PortugalCurrent form
Benfica played a successful away match in the final round of the Champions League against Juventus this week. A 2-0 victory in Turin allowed them to finish in 16th place and qualify for the playoffs. The Eagles have noticeably slowed down in the Mayor's Office, having suffered three defeats in the previous five rounds. Including against Casa Pia on the road in the last game (1:3). In the standings, the Reds hold the second place, but only in terms of additional indicators they are ahead of Porto, and Sporting's leader has come off by six points.

Estrella has suffered two of the last three defeats on its field with a one-goal difference.
8.80Tip and bets
Benfica have a huge advantage in class, but we do not think that the visitors will completely defeat the opponent, as they did in the last face-to-face meeting in the Cup. Taking into account the important matches in the Champions League, the Eagles have recently noticeably slowed down in the Premier League, suffered three defeats in the previous five rounds, and clearly lack the margin of safety to play equally successfully in all tournaments. Estrella is a typical home team, and it won't be so easy to open their saturated defense. We recommend the forecast for the underdog in this pair.
Our forecast is that Estrella will win with an Asian handicap (+2) for a coefficient of 1.72
Bet on the total
In the last two head-to-head matches on the Estrella field, there was an exchange of goals scored. Benfica on the road is not always distinguished by reliable defensive actions, which the enemy can take advantage of. At the same time, it is unlikely that the hosts will be able to win back against the Eagles' powerful attack today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 2.08
The first half bet
Benfica has been successful in the opening stages, winning three of the previous four matches in the first half. We expect the Eagles to start the game confidently this time.
Forecast – Benfica win in the first half with a coefficient of 1.60
