Casa Pia - Benfica predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 10.13 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for Casa Pia to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

Benfica seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at 1.34, the odds favour them heavily, so any outcome other than an away win is not exactly a safe choice.

Casa Pia’s hopes they could return from their latest Primeira Liga trip with a positive result were quickly quashed, despite the tied first half. The hosts suffered a remarkable dip in form during the second period which resulted in a Estrela Amadora defeat.

The Sunday’s away team heads into this Primeira Liga match on the back of a solid HT/FT home win (3:1) over Estoril. It was a rather straightforward triumph during which Benfica went ahead early on and never let their lead get in danger.

Casa Pia’s track record shows zero concessions over their previous three games. Needless to say, confidence is high among their defending players.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Benfica's backline has much to be wished for

Benfica are offered at 1.34 odds to record an important win in Estadio Pina Manique. Three points on Sunday would allow them to close the gap behind the league leaders and make an extra push in an effort to join the title chase.

Benfica played against Casa Pia earlier in the season and were unable to get anything better than a draw despite the home-field advantage. They’re not on their turf this time around, but that doesn’t change the fact that most bookies see them as the favourites.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.55 odds are great value.
