Following a 2-2 draw with Braga, Benfica are eager to return to winning ways. With Estoril struggling on the road of late, our prediction points toward 3-1 home win. The Eagles are sitting in third place in the standings, ten points behind league leaders Porto. Benfica have been scoring 2.00 goals per game of late and conceding only 0.6. Therefore, reputable bookies see them as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash. All Bruma, Soares, Bah, Lukebakio, and Felix are sidelined with injuries, but Jose Mourinho has strength in depth.
Estoril, on the other hand, impressed in a 4-1 win over Alverca at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Jose Mourinho’s troops. With Os Canarinhos losing to both Famalicao and Porto in the last two away games, we are not tempted to place our bets on the underdogs. You should know that Estoril have been conceding 1.50 goals per game on the road of late. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
With Benfica winning each of the last seven encounters with Estoril, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals (65% H2H) and BTTS (65%).
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 3 January 2026 at 18:00.
