Benfica vs Portimonense Prediction and Match Preview

Benfica is unbeatable this season. It is a rare occasion that they have recorded another outcome than a victory so far in this campaign. A 6-1 win over Vizela allowed them to climb to the top of the standings and will hope to secure it more on Sunday when they face Portimonense at home.

• Benfica’s 6-1 victory against Vizela was their 17^th win this season and they are now on a streak of 21 unbeaten games in the league too.
• Portimonense drew 1-1 against Guimaraes in their latest match to extend a winless streak to three games.
• Benfica allowed goals in five of their last eight league matches and has scored goals at an exceptional rate in that stretch too.

Benfica’s exceptional performance helped them to climb into the top of one of the Liga Portugal table. But they are points level with Sporting CP sitting in the second position. Apart from Benfica’s unbeaten run, what shines the most is their firepower, which has been netting goals at a stunning rate. Rafa Silva, who has scored in the past four league matches, is the main attraction in their firepower.

Moving on, this match will see plenty of goals as Benfica faces an unimpressive Portimonense side, who also has a weak defensive line. In that case, we can place money on Benfica to score goals over 2.5 here.

Recent Meetings

• Benfica won the reverse fixture at Portimonense, scoring three against one, and it was their fourth straight win in the head-to-head.

• Benfica was unbeaten in seven of the total eight clashes against Portimonense at this venue and won five in the stretch.

Benfica vs Portimonense Prediction

Portimonense, who has lost six in the past seven league road trips this season, makes it an obvious decision that Benfica will win the match. The stats on paper tighten the three-point possibility for the home side and we expect them to seal a comfortable one too.

Also, the three of the past four home matches of Benfica saw them allowing goals. They have netted 12 goals in that stretch too. Thus, our main betting pick will be Benfica to win and both teams to score a combined tip.

In-form Benfica offense comprising Portuguese striker Rafa Silva, definitely assures a goal-fest here. We like to back him to score anytime, which seems to be an ideal pick to rely here. For the final pick, we like to suggest Benfica -2.5 Asian Handicap as they have sealed many wins at home with a difference of at least 3 goals lately.
