Farense vs Benfica prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 2, 2024
One of the matches in the 10th round of the Primeira Liga will take place on Saturday at the Estádio de São Luís in Faro, where Farense hosts Lisbon's Benfica. We propose a bet on the total number of goals in this match.
Farense
The "Algarve Lions" are having a distinctly poor season and seem destined to bid farewell to the elite of Portuguese football. After nine rounds, Farense has secured only one victory, alongside seven defeats, leaving them at the bottom of the league table with just 4 points.
In their last outing, Farense faced Braga away and lost 0-2, conceding a goal in each half. Overall, in the last five matches, Farense has achieved just one win alongside three losses. At home, they have recorded three defeats with one win over Estoril in their last match.
Benfica
Conversely, the capital team is pursuing entirely different objectives this season, once again battling for the championship title. However, Benfica has already suffered a few disappointing setbacks, trailing Sporting by eight points. After eight rounds, the team has amassed 19 points, winning six and losing one match.
In their last league game, the "Eagles" delivered a commanding 5-0 victory against Rio Ave at home. This win marked their fourth consecutive victory in the Primeira Liga. However, in the Champions League, following two wins over Red Star and Atlético, the Lisbon club unexpectedly lost 1-3 at home to Feyenoord.
