Prediction published on 19/04/2017, 10:45  by | Modified on 04/10/2017 at 06:09 in Liga Portugal Predictions

A game in which Benfica have everything to lose. They start the weekend three points clear of Porto with five games to go. While they have a tricky game at third placed Sporting, Porto are home to Feirense who are 11th in the table and lost their last two games. Benfica play this game a day before Porto are in action so this is a chance to open up a six point gap. They are in strong form at present and are unbeaten in their last ten league games and just one defeat in their last seven away league matches. Not many goals though with the last seven away games seeing just seven goals scored. Sporting are third in the table and don't have that much to play for really. Champions League football is assured with a ten point lead over the fourth placed side and they are five points behind second placed Porto. They are unbeaten in their last nine games and at home have just one defeat in their last 17 league matches. A difficult game to predict but Benfica will be wanting to at least get a draw. They don't concede that many on the road with just six conceded in 14 away league games this season but just 14 goals themselves. Go for under 2.5 goals in this match.
