Benfica will look to put pressure on Portugal Primeira Liga leaders with a win over Nacional in this matchday 25 meeting. This match on Saturday at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica between the 2nd-placed Eagles and the 12th-placed Alvinegros comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
With 53 points, Benfica start this round only three behind leaders Sporting, while they are three ahead of Porto. Nacional are in the bottom half of the points tally with 26 points, which is four above the relegation zone.
Benfica narrowly lost 1-0 to Barcelona at home on Wednesday in the last 16 of the Champions League. With the second leg set for next week, Benfica will look to get back to winning ways, having won seven of their last eight games before that defeat. Benfica are a well-oiled machine when playing at home, winning 11 of their 12 league matches played here.
Nacional won 2-1 at home against Famalicao last weekend to make it two wins and a draw from their last four matches. They have struggled to contain the goals, and that could prove to be their downfall. The visitors have lost eight of their last 11 away league games, winning only once.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Nacional Madeira Prediction
After a narrow loss to Barcelona in the Champions League, Benfica will look to get quickly back to winning ways. Doing so at their home venue will also serve as a precursor to next week's second leg in the last 16 of the Champions League. Nacional's poor form on the road isn't likely to test Benfica, who can put pressure on leaders Sporting with a win. Goals could be the common denominator here, as both teams have been regularly involved in high-scoring matches. That's why our Benfica Lisbon vs Nacional Madeira prediction is over 2.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
