Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
After recording a hard-fought 1-0 win over Maritimo, Benfica will be looking to keep their title hopes alive when they take on Ferreira at Estadio da Capital do Movel on Sunday evening. The Eagles are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in Primeira Liga, and they are likely to stick to leave their hearts on the field. Luca Waldschmidt, who scored the winner from the penalty spot against Maritimo, will be one of the men to watch in the away side.
Os Castores, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive triumph on home soil. However, given their display in a 2-0 loss at Famalicao, we are not tempted to put our money on Pepa’s troops. The Eagles look unstoppable at the moment, and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason for celebration.
