SL Benfica vs Portimonense SC - 06/01/2023
3324
On Friday night, Benfica hosts Portimonense at the Estadio da Luz in the Primeira Liga as the Eagles look to extend their lead at the top of the table.
The Eagles are currently five points clear at the top of the Portuguese top flight. Despite their lofty position at the top of the table, Roger Schmidt’s team suffered a 3-0 defeat at Sporting Braga last time out in the league.
However, the loss against Braga was their first league defeat of the season and also ended a five-game winning run in the Primeira Liga.
The home team has been prolific of late in the league, scoring at least two goals in five of their last eight matches in the Primeira Liga.
The league leaders have turned the Estadio da Luz into a fortress of late, as the Eagles have recorded seven straight home league wins, having scored two goals in each of the seven wins.
The visitors are enjoying a solid league campaign, as they are currently in ninth place in the Primeira Liga. Despite their decent league campaign so far, Portimonense head into this game on the back of just one win in their previous seven matches, having suffered five defeats in the poor run of form.
Their recent league matches have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight outings.
The team from Portimao have a poor recent away record in the Portuguese top flight, as they have lost three of their last four league games on their travels.
Their recent away struggles have been due to a lack of attacking threat, as Portimonense has failed to score in three of their four away games in the Primeira Liga.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Benfica will record a comfortable victory in a high-scoring encounter to maintain or even extend the Eagles' lead at the top of the table.
