Prediction published on 13/12/2024, 13:00  by Thobelani Moyo in Liga Portugal Predictions

AVS Futebol SAD and Benfica will lock horns at Estadio do CD das Avesa in the 14th round of the Liga Portugal. AVS occupies 15th place in the league standings while Benfica sits in second place and is two points adrift of first-placed Sporting Lisbon. Let's get into the match prediction  

There have been issues brewing in the North for AVS Futebol SAD, who gained promotion from LigaPro in the previous season. The teams' introduction to the Liga Portugal has produced two wins, five draws, and six losses in the last 13 games, leaving them two points above the relegation zone.

In their latest match, they played out a 1-1 draw against Casa Pia to salvage a point. However, this extended their winless run to eight matches comprising four losses and four draws.

Benfica failed to justify their status as favorites following a goalless draw against Bologna at home in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League fixture. This result has left them languishing in 15th place with 10 points accumulated from six games in the 36-team table. 

However, the Eagles have been a breath of fresh air in the league as they head into this clash boasting an eight-match winning streak. The most recent of those wins was a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Vitoria Guimaraes marking it their fourth shutout in seven matches.
