Benfica - Estoril predictions

The betting odds alone should tell you enough about which side is going to win this showdown. With a home win priced at 1.19, Benfica are almost guaranteed to come out on top – probably with a notable goal margin as well.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Benfica and the 16.28 odds given to Estoril to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Although Benfica’s previous Primeira Liga outing at Porto was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Porto , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 5:0 victory in the end.

Estoril’s defeat in their previous home game was painful due to the crushing 1:3 final score, but it doesn’t mean they won’t perform better in round 25. They were up against Vitória Guimarães, who were considered hard favourites and took the lead early.

Benfica’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Primeira Liga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Given 9 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Estoril's defensive line is much to be desired.

The last time these two teams met Benfica managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 2.65 odds offered at 1xbet are more than fair in terms of value.
