Prediction and betting for Benfica – Vizela
Start the fifth round of the Portuguese Primeira “Benfica” and “Vizela”. The teams will meet next Friday at the Estadio Da Luz stadium (Lisbon).
Benfica
Roger Schmidt’s men are currently the only team to have won four opening matches in the Portuguese league this season, and Lisbon will be looking to extend their winning streak in this game. In the last round, Benfica won 3:2 over Pacos de Ferreira at home. Benfica have won all of their last 14 matches in all competitions. The last defeat happened on May 7, within the framework of the 33rd round of last year’s championship, Benfica lost at the home arena to the Porto team with a score of 0:1. The Champions League is on the horizon and the team from Lisbon will be looking to increase their lead in the standings.
Vizela
Manager Alvaro Pacheco should be pleased with his last round of points, as his team had to come back 2-0 against Gil Vicente during the match. The match ended in a draw 2:2. It was the second consecutive draw for Wiesel in the championship. The team won one victory in the first four matches of the season, and the only defeat came on August 14, 0:1 against the defending league champions Porto.
Head-to-head statistics:
- 2022 Benfica 1:1 Vizela
- 2021 Vizela 0:1 Benfica
- 2019 Vizela 1:2 Benfica
- 2017 Benfica 4:0 Vizela
Football Benfica / Vizela prediction: Benfica win with handicap “-1.5” (odds 1.61)
Benfica are coming into this match as the highest scoring team in the division, having won all 14 of their last matches in all competitions and scoring 42 goals in that time. I believe that the Lisbon side will easily cope with the “Visela” and win a comfortable victory in front of their fans. Given the fact that in last year’s draw on the home field, the Benfica players could not defeat Wisella, while playing in the minority from the very beginning of the match (the Lisbon player was sent off at the 8th minute), but with a big advantage during the game, in the upcoming match the mood the hosts will be very combative. Confidently bet on the victory of “Benfica” with a handicap of -1.5.
