Benfica will hope to narrow the three-point gap to the top when they play hosts to Famalicao at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on matchday 18 of the Liga Portugal. Benfica are third in the table, while Famalicao are ninth. Here's our match prediction.
Benfica had to battle from one goal down to win 3-1 against Farense in the Taca de Portugal round of 16 on Tuesday.
Before this, they managed to exact revenge for their 1-0 league loss against bitter-rivals Sporting Lisbon before the turn of the year. They won 7-6 on penalties to clinch the Taca da Liga championship after a gritty 1-1 draw in regular time.
The Eagles now return to league action, hoping to bounce back from a 2-1 home defeat against Braga in their first match of 2025. It has to be pointed out that this was their first defeat this season at home after enjoying an eight-match winning streak.
Famalicao, on the other hand, has nothing to report on when it comes to domestic cup competitions and will likely capitalize on their fresh legs to secure a favorable outcome here.
Well, that'll be easier said than done considering the Famalicenses are winless in seven league games (D4, L3).
In their most recent match, they held Casa Pia to a 1-1 away draw to halt a two-match losing streak in the league.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Famalicao Prediction
Benfica's impressive home record in the league this season suggests they might be a difficult opponent to overcome despite losing both of their away encounters against Famalicao by a 2-0 scoreline.
Considering Famalicao's poor form in the league and a rusty rearguard that has seen them concede nine goals from their last five away matches in the league, this points towards a heavy defeat for the visitors. Our Benfica v Famalicao prediction is for Benfica to score in both halves.
