Estoril vs Benfica Prediction and Betting Tips 16 May 2026

Benfica travel to Estoril knowing only a victory will keep their hopes of sneaking into the Champions League alive in the final round of the Primeira Liga season. Estoril, meanwhile, sit comfortably in mid-table with little left to play for and arrive on a poor run of form. The hosts have failed to win any of their last four home games and average only 0.50 goals scored per game at home recently. Defensive suspensions to Pedro Carvalho and Antef Tsoungui further weaken a side already struggling at the back.

The Eagles, meanwhile, are in excellent form, collecting 2.20 points per game from their last 10 matches while scoring an impressive 2.20 goals per match. Jose Mourinho also receives a major boost as both Richard Rios and Nicolas Otamendi return from suspension, giving Benfica a full squad to choose from. You should know that Benfica are after their fifth consecutive win over Estoril.

Given Benfica's huge quality gap and dominant H2H record, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Away Win, alongside Benfica Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Benfica matches average 3.30 total goals recently).

This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 16 May 2026 at 20:30.
