Benfica

After 14 rounds, the "Eagles" stand second in the championship, trailing the leader by just one point. In the last round, the team narrowly defeated Braga away with a score of 0:1, with the Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin emerging as the hero of the match, making several crucial saves. The mentioned victory ended a series of two unnecessary draws. Although eliminated from the Champions League, the club will continue its quest in the Europa League. Before this encounter, "Eagles" face four personnel losses.

Famalicao

For Famalicao, the championship is shaping up well as they occupy a commendable seventh position. However, harboring dreams of European competitions may be premature, given the substantial 11-point gap from the top five. In the last round, the club played to a 1:1 draw at home against Estoril, with goals exchanged as early as the 14th minute. This draw marked the third in four encounters for the team. There are no injured or disqualified players in the lineup, and all are prepared for the battle against the formidable giants.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Famalicao is on a streak of four winless games in the championship.
• Benfica dominates the head-to-head clashes with 8 victories in 11 encounters, with three matches ending in a draw.

Prediction

There is no doubt that the hosts are substantial favorites here, although Famalicao may put up resistance. Benfica has not displayed the best form in recent matches, making a convincing victory necessary. The hosts are likely to dominate and won't settle for just one goal. We consider a wager on Benfica's success with a handicap of -1.5 goals as viable.
