Command Analysis

Benfica

Portugal

Current form

Before the start of the season, Benfica was traditionally among the main contenders for the championship title along with Sporting and Porto - until the Eagles dropped out of the championship race, although they did not conduct the first round perfectly. With 44 points, Bruno Lage's team is in second place in the table and six points behind the leader of Sporting, such a handicap still leaves a chance of success, Porto is two points behind. In the last round, Benfica beat Estrela 3-2 in a very difficult match, thus obtaining their 14th victory of the season.

Moreirense

Portugal

Current form

Before the start of the season, Moreirense was considered a contender for a place in the top half of the table, and under the most favorable circumstances, Cesar Peixote's team could have counted on European cups. However, so far the "green and white" are frankly not impressive and, following the results of 20 rounds, they occupy only 11th place in the table, breaking away from the zone of transitional matches by six points – such a handicap cannot guarantee anything. After losing 1-2 to Braga in the last round, Moreirense suffered its second defeat in a row and extended its winless streak in all tournaments to eight matches.

Tip and bets

2.05handicap (-2) for Benfica

Benfica have made a lot of mistakes in recent matches, but they are still close to the leader and today they have a chance to close the gap. Despite the fact that the Eagles will play in the Champions League against Monaco in a few days, they will have plenty of motivation, and the rotation is unlikely to be so large-scale as to seriously weaken the team. Moreirense has been in crisis for a long time and is frankly not impressive, there should be no problems for the favorite with a confident victory.

We believe that the guests have no chance. The forecast is an Asian handicap (-2) for Benfica. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05

2.35Both will score

Betting on corners

Benfica is fighting for the league title and is the undisputed favorite today – it is obvious that the hosts will be as aggressive as possible in attack from the very first minutes. Moreirense does not have much reliability in defense and it will be almost impossible to win back against such an opponent. However, the "green and white" will probably also take risks, in the last match they managed to score against Braga and create a lot of chances, the guests are quite capable of responding with one goal.

The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 2.35

Betting on corners

Benfica is the favorite and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the hosts should win confidently from the corners.

The bet is an Asian handicap (-5) on corners for Benfica. This bet is offered for 1.85
