Benfica vs Estrela Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in Liga Portugal on Saturday, 19 August 2023.
Benfica are set to host Estrela at Estadio da Luz for their upcoming league fixture. Benfica enter the contest following a number of mixed results in recent weeks and were defeated 3-2 by Boavista in their opening league match of the new season.
Their opponents, Estrela, have had a subpar preseason after being promoted, and they started the Primeira Liga season with a 1-0 loss to Vitoria Guimaraes on Matchday 1.
The last time these two clubs met was in November 2022. Benfica managed to deliver a 3-2 win that day.
Benfica are on a 17-game unbeaten streak against this opposition. They have also won this fixture on 16 of those occasions.
We are counting on Benfica to pull off a win here. They have a great home record heading into this one. Three of their past four matches have ended in victories. In addition, they only lost one home league match in the whole of last season.
Estrela, on the other hand, was just promoted and has struggled to establish form. Their last three games have all ended in losses.
Moreover, Benfica also has an excellent h2h record in the recent history of this matchup.
We expect goals in this match. In two of Benfica’s last three matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, four of Estrela’s past five matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the last three h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Benfica have a great home record heading into the match. They have won three of their past four home matches. They also have an excellent record against Estrela. Furthermore, Estrela has had a poor form going into the match.
Therefore, we will take the 1.85 odds offered for Benfica to win the first half by two or more goals.
Also, you can back on Angel Di Maria to score anytime at 2.20 odds. He has already scored two goals in his last two appearances so far.
