Benfica vs Portimonense Prediction: Will Benfica get back to winning?

Since the start of the season, Benfica has defeated everyone who came across its path. They finished the group stage of the Champions League as the first ahead of giants such as Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. Before the break due to the World Cup in Qatar, it was on a nine-game winning streak, which made Benfica to be the only unbeaten team in the Portuguese Primeira. And in the midst of the story about how the European giants are offering a hundred or ten million more for their world champion Enzo Fernandes, it's as if the entire team lost focus on what is most important - the field. And in the last round Braga took advantage of that and in the 14th round of the domestic championship inflicted an unforgettable defeat on the Lisbon Eagles - 3:0. Now Benfica will have chance to bounce back against Portimonense and to get back to winning. Portimonense was also defeated in the last round by Casa Pia and now has 2 defeats in a row.

Benfica is amazing in all competitions this season. Currently, they are on the 1st place with 37 points, 12 wins, a draw and a defeat. Benfica has only 3 points advantage from Braga and 5 more points from Porto. Benfica has the quality and home advantage in this match to win all 3 points and to calm its fans after the defeat in the last round.

Portimonense is in little crisis and, at the moment, the team is in 8th place with 19 points. They have 6 wins, a draw and 7 defeats. As a visitor, Portimonense knows how to cause trouble and in 6 matches away from home the team has 3 wins and 3 defeats. However, against Benfica in Lisbon, it is a different story and a point in this match will be equal to a win for them.

There is no doubt that Benfica is the favorite here. The question is how competitive Portimonense can be and how they can trouble Benfica to score the opening goal. Benfica is hungry for revenge after the defeat in the last round, and a home win with many goals is expected in this match.
