Expert Betting Tips

Benfica has been unstoppable this season as they chase to close down the point gap to first place. In this fixture they have won three consecutive matches at home, and their current form in the league is trustworthy to pick them up in the full-time market. 

However, their opponents can't be estimated as they can turn this into a tricky match. This is why I expect both sides to get on the scoresheet, though I'm not ruling out a home win when all is said and done.
