Prediction: 3-2
Famalicao
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Sporting CP in the Lisbon derby, Benfica will look to extend their winning run in Primeira Liga to three games when they host Famalicao to their Estadio da Luz on Saturday. The capital club are not enjoying a season to remember, but they could still secure a top-four finish. Since Benfica are six points behind the Lions in the standings, home win should be considered.
All Rafa Silva, Rodrigo Pinho, and Lucas Verissimo are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the home team. Famalicao, on the other hand, are three points clear of the relegation zone. Since both sides are likely to go for a win in Saturday’s clash, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In the first half of the season Benfica outclassed Famalicao 4-1.
