Famalicao vs Benfica Predictions

Benfica to continue unbeaten campaign

Benfica are in good form and look set to continue their unbeaten away record when they visit Famalicao on Saturday. They have won on five of their last seven Primeira Liga away trips and have gone unbeaten in all 15 of their away games this season.

Benfica are second in the Primeira Liga, three places above Famalicao, with both teams having won more games than they’ve lost this season. Benfica have won 22 and lost none of their 31 games, while Famalicao have 14 wins and eight defeats.

Benfica have scored an average of 2.14 goals a game and conceded just 0.79 in their 14 Primeira Liga games against other top-half teams this season, while Famalicao have lost their three home games against teams in the top four.

Benfica maintained their winning habit with a 4-1 victory over Moreirense at home last weekend. The visitors had their chances but didn’t make the most of them.

Benfica are in form, having gone 23 away trips without losing a Primeira Liga game. They have been winners in nine of their last 11 league matches and have only tasted defeat once in their last 48 games.

They remain unbeaten after 31 Primeira Liga games this season, with their last defeat coming away to Casa Pia in January 2025.

Benfica are a potent attacking force, having scored three goals or more in ten of their 31 Primeira Liga games this season. They have also found the net in 22 of their last 23 league matches.

Benfica have been impressive defensively away from home this season, conceding just nine goals in 15 games – an average of 0.60 goals per game. They have kept out Famalicao in six of their last eight Primeira Liga head-to-heads.

Six of the last eight Primeira Liga meetings between Famalicao and Benfica have gone under 2.5 goals, and a 2-0 away win for Benfica looks a decent correct-score option.
