Benfica - Vizela predictions

A quick look at the odds reveals just how imbalanced this matchup is. Benfica are almost certain to walk away with 3 more points towards the Primeira Liga table, and Vizela fans should probably temper their expectations.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Benfica and the 21.00 odds given to Vizela to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

The last round of the Primeira Liga saw Benfica fans end up being disappointed with their trip to $ Vitória Guimarães. Their team was expected to snag an easy win but ended up struggling to break through both at the halftime mark and by the final whistle.

The 0:1 away win Vizela snagged last round caught most bookies by surprise. According to the game’s prematch betting odds, they were at a severe disadvantage and didn’t stand much of a match. Despite all of that, they took the lead early and went on to narrowly win the showdown.

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.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Vizela have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Primeira Liga. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The season is starting to heat up in round 22, and Benfica are firmly holding on to their top spot in the Primeira Liga standings. They’ll be looking to strengthen their position even further this Sunday, and it seems likely that they’ll do so.

Though they’re considered to be the clear underdogs in this game, Vizela should have clear motivation to reach their goals. They’re stuck in the relegation zone as we enter round 22, and they’ll need to act quickly while there’s still time.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.13. They soundly defeated Vizela last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

We recommend taking up William Hill’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 3.00. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
