Benfica vs Boavista Predictions

• Benfica have won nine of their ten home league matches, scoring 32 goals
• Boavista are on a run of one win in nine away games
• Eight of Benfica’s last ten Primeira Liga fixtures have contained at least three strikes

Benfica primed to win again

Benfica have been simply sensational at home this season, picking up nine wins in ten league games, while the other match finished all square.

Roger Schmidt’s side, who beat Club Brugge 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday, have already netted 32 goals at the Estadio da Luz, where nine of their outings have contained three or more strikes.

Indeed, they are not only the league leaders, but also the top scorers, netting 51 times in just 20 outings.

Boavista up against

Those goal scoring statistics don’t bode well for Boavista, who have already conceded 31 times in the Primeira Liga, including 16 times in nine away fixtures.

Petit’s outfit have lost three of their last four on the road, with three of those games also containing at least three goals.

Indeed, the pressure is on the manager after just two wins in eight in all competitions since the World Cup, with half of those fixtures containing in excess of two strikes.

I predict that Benfica will win this game with three or more goals in the game, selecting 3-1 as my correct score prediction.
