Betting on Grupo Desportivo de Chaves
Chaves managed to reach a 0-0 draw against Gil Vicente, which could be considered a decent result after its 1-2 defeat against Braga. However, dropping points is not doing the team any favors as it is slipping down the standings.
With only two wins in its last five matches played, Chaves has a record of eight wins, nine draws, and 10 losses. Interestingly, the team seems to perform better when playing away, suggesting it is unreliable on its home field, where it has only managed to win three out of 13 matches. Additionally, it has been inconsistent lately, switching between positive and negative results.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Paulo Vítor; Nélson Monte, Carlos Ponck, Steven Vitória, Bruno Langa; João Mendes, Guima, João Teixeira; Bernardo Sousa, Juninho Vieira, Euller.
Betting on Benfica
Benfica arrives to this match after suffering a 1-2 defeat against Porto in the previous round. However, that was just its second loss of the season in the Primeira Liga, so its position at the top of the standings is not in danger. In fact, the team currently leads the league with 71 points, having secured 23 wins, two draws, and the same number of losses.
They suffered another midweek Champions League defeat, falling 2-0 loss to Inter Milan. This defeat may have affected the team’s morale heading into this match. Still, and on a possitive note, the team from Lisbon has recently had a good run playing away, having gone undefeated for four matches in all competitions, and keeping a clean sheet in the rest of those games.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Odysseas Vlachodimos; Gilberto, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Alejandro Grimaldo; Chiquinho, Fredrik Aursnes; João Mário, Rafa Silva, David Neres; Gonçalo Ramos.
JefeBet Prediction
Recovering from two consecutive losses is never easy, but Benfica has the quality to turn things around, especially in the local tournament. The title is within reach and the team must seize the opportunity to grab the three points against a weaker opponent. If the previous match between them this season ended with a 5-0 score in favor of Benfica, at JefeBet, we believe that it could very well be the only team scoring in this upcoming match.
Prediction: Moneyline of Benfica (CHA 0-3 BEN).
