Betting on S.L. Benfica
Benfica has managed to get back on track after suffering a bad streak of results that narrowed the gap with its closest rivals in the league standings. With a four-point lead, the home team must try to keep adding three points as it did in the previous matchday, defeating Gil Vicente 0-2 away.
The team’s record at Estadio da Luz is really positive, as the team has won 13 out of the 15 matches played so far in the top division, losing only one.
Moreover, the last time it hosted this opponent, Benfica achieved a resounding 6-1 victory, a difference it will try to repeat on this occasion.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Odysseas Vlachodimos; Fredrik Aursnes, Nicolas Otamendi, Antonio Silva, Alejandro Grimaldo; Joao Neves, Florentino; David Neres, Rafa Silva, Joao Mario; Gonçalo Ramos.
Betting on Sporting Braga
Braga is currently third in the standings with 71 points, six points behindit current opponent. Although its chances of taking the top spot are slim, the team will still need to finish the season on a good note to secure a direct spot in the UEFA Champions League group stage for 2023-24.
The team’s recent performance in the Primeira Liga suggests it will put up a good fight in this match. After all, it has won five games in a row in the competition, and it has not lost in ten matches in a row across all tournaments.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Matheus Magalhaes; Victor Gomez, Paulo Oliveira, Sikou Niakate, Cristian Borja; Iuri Medeiros, Andre Horta, Al Musrati, Bruma; Abel Ruiz, Ricardo Horta.
JefeBet Prediction
The away team is the second-best performing team this season when it comes to playing on the road, having won 12 out of 15 matches. However, it must face off against the best club in this 2022-23 edition of the Portuguese tournament, which has also been flawless when playing in front of its crowd.
The home team has regained the level of play that allowed it to take a big lead over other teams, so it is expected that it will come out determined to take a big step in the race for another title in Portugal.
Prediction: Moneyline for Benfica (SLB 2-0 BRA).
