Portimonense - Benfica betting tips and odds

Portimonense are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 12.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Benfica. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

It’s hard to see this match going any other way than an away win. Priced at 1.26 with most bookies, this match is a fairly one-sided affair, and Portimonense will need to give quite the performance if they want to get any points out of it.

Portimonense’s previous away performance caught everyone by surprise – most of all Vitória Guimarães , their opponents. The visitors were given a negligible chance of success, which seemed especially impossible when Vitória Guimarães took the lead in the first half. Portimonense took it back in the second half, ending the match with an unexpected 1:2 away win.

A point from the game they were supposed to have no problems winning will have left Benfica scratching their heads. Following their HT/FT draw against Vizela, it’s fair to assume Benfica will be raring to go this Sunday.

Portimonense’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Primeira Liga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The hosts are off to a shaky start this season. Placing 13th in the standings is nothing to write home about, though it’s way too early to panic. That said, their odds of earning even a single point this Sunday are not looking great.

Another three points would do great in Benfica’s efforts to get closer to European positions. Bookies are having them priced at 1.26 to do so and we suggest you back them with a $STAKE stake.

Benfica’s confidence is further boosted by the decisive victory they scored against Portimonense last season. They won that match with a solid lead, and most bookmakers online are expecting a similar outcome from this bout.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

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 1.50, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
