Benfica vs Portimonense Predictions

• Six of the last eight Primeira Liga meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net
• Win & BTTS has been a winner in five of Benfica’s last seven Primeira Liga meetings with Portimonense
• The hosts have only lost once all season

Benfica to impress

Benfica progressed to the next round of the Europa League on Thursday after grinding out a 2-1 aggregate success over Toulouse and the Portuguese league leaders can pick up another success when they host Portimonense.

Benfica have won 17 of their 22 league games this term and have been particularly effective at home, winning nine and drawing two of their 11 home clashes.

They should be too strong for the visitors, who are just one point clear of the relegation zone after losing 12 of their 22 league matches.

Portimonense have one of the worst defensive records in the division, conceding 45 times in 22 matches, and they could fall to another defeat in this one.

Both teams to find the net

Despite Benfica’s likely dominance in this clash, don’t discount Portimonense getting on the scoresheet.

Six of the last eight league meetings between these sides have seen both teams find the net and Benfica have won and both teams have scored in five of their last seven head-to-heads.

The visitors have been leaky at the back so correct score backers should side with a 3-1 victory for Benfica.
