Benfica - Moreirense predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Benfica. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Benfica and the fact that Moreirense are given 14.03 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

Benfica were on an away match at Estrela Amadora last round and brought home three points after a solid performance throughout the match. It may have been close at 2:3, but an away win always sends a clear message.

Moreirense didn’t stand much of a chance in their previous Primeira Liga bout against Sporting Braga, despite the home-field advantage. They somehow took the lead, but the hard favourites won out in the end, securing a narrow 1:2 victory.

Benfica can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 6 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

As this year’s season trudges on, the competition at the top of the table is heating up. Benfica are 6 points behind the current leaders, giving them plenty of motivation to secure 3 points in this favourable matchup.

Even though we’ve seen Benfica and Moreirense clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
