Betting on Sport Lisboa e Benfica
The team closer to be the next champion is sweeping the board in the league and in the Champions League. Os Encarnados have won 6 consecutive games, allowing only two goals in this streak. It may be its best moment of the season.
In the league, it has won 8 consecutive victories, while making its defense way more solid, conceding only three goals. In fact, it has become a great team, with an unstoppable offense.
Its goal average per game is already 1.89, thanks that in the last few games, it has scored at least two goals. Therefore, it is guaranteed to score some goals at home, since there it has not lost any game and has only tied once against Sporting Lisbon, in a great game that ended 2-2.
In the last match, it beat Marítimo 0-3, but it is not necessary to describe how fantastically Roger Schmidt’s team is playing in this spectacular season.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Odysseas Vlachodimos; Alexander Bah, Nicolas Otamendi, Antonio Silva, Alejandro Grimaldo; Florentino Luis, Chiquinho; Joao Mario, David Neres, Fredrik Aursnes; Gonçalo Guedes.
Betting on Vitória Sport Clube
Although Vitoria Guimaraes is also performing well, its objective is to qualify for European competitions, something that it is achieving. It is fifth and that gives it a ticket to the Conference League. However, it is 15 points away from the Champions League, and it is difficult to see them competing for the gold medal.
It has only one defeat in the last 7 games, and it was against Arouca at home (0-2). This loss was quite painful, since Arouca is the direct rival in the quest for Europe, and losing against it shortened the distance to only three points.
As the Vimaranenses face Benfica, it would quite the feat to win at home. However, the homeowners are forced to claim the victory, since if it does not, Arouca could pass it and take away the temporary ticket to the Conference League. Thus, there is a lot at stake in this game.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Pedro Rafael Oliveira; André Amaro, Ibrahima Bamba, Mikel Villanueva; Miguel Maga, Daniel Silva, Tiago Silva, Afonso Freitas; Jota Silva, André Silva; Allison Safira
JefeBet Prediction
Even though Vitoria will put up a fight because of its desperation, the Eagles in “Da Luz” are practically invincible. Besides, it looks like Eusebio’s Benfica that crushes whoever is in front of it (or not Club Brugge?) .
The home team will take the match, and Vitoria will have to recover the position later on.
Prediction: Benfica 2-0 Vitoria
