Benfica vs Nacional Betting Tips & Predictions

Benfica are just one game away from winning the Primeira Liga for the third year in a row, with victory over Nacional on Sunday seeing them crowned champions. However, if Benfica were to draw and Sporting CP were to win at Sporting Braga, then the title would go to Sporting CP.

The recent head-to-head record between Benfica and Nacional strongly favours the league leaders, who have won this fixture nine times in a row at home. There seems little doubt that Benfica will win, and lift the trophy as a result, but the pressure will be on.

Nacional have little to play for as they sit right in the middle of the Primeira Liga table and can only move up or down one place no matter what they do on the last day of the Portuguese league season.
