Before their clash with Chaves, Benfica had hit three goals in their opening two matches of the new season. They’ve scored at least three goals in nine of their last 11 home league games. Their scoring form should continue here, and we expect the champions to ease to the points this weekend.
They were unbeaten at home last season, and they were comfortable winners in most games. They won by a two goal margin in 12 of their 14 home victories, helped by the fact that they conceded a goal every other game in the league. Having averaged 2.88 goals per game at home, this should be an easy win for the champions.
Benfica won to nil against all of the bottom six at home, scoring at least three in each. While Belenenses don’t lose heavily all too often, they were in that bottom six which Benfica cruised past. The visitors lost by two or more in 67% of their away defeats last term, while they lost at five of the top seven on the road.
We can’t see any way that Benfica don’t run away with this game, as Belenenses have failed to score in five of their last six away. We’re backing Benfica with a -1 handicap at 4/7 with bet365, which seems like a big price given how they dominated Portuguese football last term. We’re also backing their streak against the bottom six to continue, which is priced at 6/1 with bet365.
Benfica vs Belenenses Stats
Benfica are unbeaten in 24 matches at home. They won to nil in 59% of their home matches, while 82% of their games at their own ground saw over 2.5 goals last term.
