Betting on S.L. Benfica
Since matchday 4, they have not lost the lead in the tournament and have only lost once in the league, against Braga on December 30 by 3-0. In their last four games, they have four wins and only one draw.
The loss of Enzo Fernández (new signing from Chelsea) will undoubtedly take its toll, especially as there was no time to even get a replacement. Part of Benfica’s leading position is due to the Argentine’s work in midfield.
At home, it goes without saying that they are unbeatable because they have not lost at the Estadio da Luz. The only brave team that was up to the task of drawing against them was Sporting Lisbon in a great game that ended 2-2 (which is among their last five league results). The Eagles are within striking distance of becoming champions if they continue advancing at this pace.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Odysseas Vlachodimos; Alexander Bah, Antonio Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Alejandro Grimaldo; Florentino Luis, Chiquinho; Joao Mario, David Neres, Fredrik Aursnes; Gonçalo Guedes.
Betting on Casa Pia A.C.
The surprising Casa Pia are on their way to Europe, but have slowed down and already have Vitoria three points behind them. Last matchday, they made up for two consecutive defeats (by Estoril and Gil Vicente), and beat Santa Clara by a score of 2-1 at home. That keeps them in fifth position and with the dream of playing in continental tournaments that give economic prizes that can be useful to the modest club alive.
Their away record is striking: they have five wins in eight matches played, what implies that they are capable of taking away Benfica’s aura of invincibility.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Ricardo Batista; Joao Nunes, Fernando Varela, Nermin Zolotic; Lucas Soares, Afonso Taira, Cuca, Derick Poloni; Takahiro Kunimoto, Rafael Martins, Saviour Godwin.
JefeBet Prediction
Casa Pia will fight in Da Luz, but it won’t be powerful enough against a Benfica team that at home looks like the Brazilian national team of the 1970s (ok, maybe we are overreacting), and it seems almost impossible to beat them in this domestic season. The Eagles will move a step closer to the league title, but they will have to stand up for themselves and fight tooth and nail for it.
Prediction: Benfica 1-0 Casa Pia.
