Prediction published on 18/02/2023, 04:35  by Devesh Jaganath in Liga Portugal Predictions

Benfica will put their Primeira Liga unbeaten run on the line when they take on Boavista at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa on Monday night. The hosts are coming into this match following a convincing 3-0 win over Casa Pia in their last match, which extended their unbeaten run to six matches, including five wins and just one draw. That win saw Benfica move to 53 points in 20 matches and maintain their five-point lead at the top of the Primeira Liga over Porto in second. Benfica’s biggest strength has been their home form, where they remain unbeaten so far this season with an impeccable record of nine wins and one draw in 10 home contests. Benfica is also unbeaten in their last four matches against this opponent, and coupled with their home form, they will be confident that they take all three points from this match.

Boavista has found the going a little tougher in recent weeks, and after playing out a goalless draw in their last match, they have found themself slipping to tenth place in the league with 26 points in 20 matches, seven points behind the European Cup qualification spots. Boavista has only managed one win in their last six matches, which includes three draws and two losses. However, their away form has been the major cause for concern, having not won on the road in their last six attempts and have an overall record of two wins, one draw, and six losses in nine matches. It’s going to be difficult for the visitors in this one, who will have to rely heavily on their defense to try and keep out a rampant Benfica front line.
