FC Vizela vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal

Prediction published on 23/02/2023, 11:13  by Devesh Jaganath in Liga Portugal Predictions

Vizela will welcome Benfica to Estadio Do Vizela this Saturday in the hope that they can bring an end to a three-match winless run in the Primeira Liga. After playing out a 1-1 draw to Gil Vicente in their last match, Vizela finds themselves in 9th place in the league,  with 26 points in 21 matches, level with Boavista in eighth and eight behind Vitoria Guimaraes who currently occupy the fifth and final European Cup qualification spot. Vizela has struggled for consistency for much of the season, as illustrated in their form over their last six matches, which reads as two wins, two draws, and two losses. Their home record looks fairly similar, with a record of four wins, two draws, and four losses in 10. Vizela has avoided defeat in their last four home matches but will find it difficult to keep that record intact against a free-flowing Benfica side.

Benfica took a step closer to securing the title this season when they overcame Boavista in their last match 3-0, which saw them maintain their five-point lead over defending champions Porto at the top of the Primeira Liga table. Benfica has a record of 56 points in 21 matches, with 18 wins, two draws, and just one loss all season. They are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run in the league and have won their last three away matches since playing against Braga in December 2022. Benfica won the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier in the season and are unbeaten in their last three against this opponent. The visitor's will see anything but three points as a massive disappointment in this match.
