Estrela Amadora vs Benfica: Match preview
Estrela made a good start to the season, going unbeaten in their first six league rounds. However, the team's results then took a sharp turn for the worse, and they head into this match on a run of four consecutive defeats. Their only consolation during this period was a 2-1 victory over Fazendense in the Portuguese Cup. The hosts have also struggled on home soil: they have failed to score in their last two home matches and have conceded at least twice in four of their five games at their own stadium. Moreover, Estrela have been unable to beat Benfica in 13 consecutive matches in all competitions.
Benfica, by contrast, have been enjoying excellent results in recent weeks and currently sit second in the table with 25 points. The Lisbon side are five points behind league leaders Porto. Last week, the Eagles secured a narrow 1-0 home victory over Alverca, recording their eighth win in their last nine league matches. Furthermore, with 27 goals scored, Benfica are the highest-scoring team in the current Portuguese top-flight campaign.
Probable lineups
- Estrela Amadora: Linck; Scholze, L. Patrick, Lekovic, Davin; Jansson, Serra; Marcus, Zvonarek, Stoica; Antonetti
- Benfica: Soares; Bah, Araujo, Circati, Dahl; Sudakov, Palhinha; Silva, Prestianni, Schjelderup; Pavlidis
Prediction
Benfica are clear favourites in this match, in my opinion, and I expect them to deliver a strong performance. I suggest betting on over 2 total goals at odds of 1.40.
