Benfica - Nacional predictions

Benfica are seen as favourites to win this match against Nacional. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Benfica and the fact that Nacional are given 12.00 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Nacional victory would be a shocking surprise.

Top online bookmakers priced a Benfica victory in the previous round at 1.15, so it was a fairly one-sided affair. As predicted, they took a lead in the first half and strolled their way to a decisive 3:0 home victory.

Nacional are here after a home-field 2:1 triumph against Famalicão in the previous round. Even though the odds were not in their favour, they spent most of the match ahead.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

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.

This Saturday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.57 odds offered at Betway.
