Benfica meets Villarreal in a preseason friendly match that will be hosted at Estadio Algarve this Friday. While the Spanish side will be playing a first warmup game ahead of the new season, for Benfica it will be the second. Across all levels, neither team has posted a clean sheet in the last six matches, which builds a case for our prediction for both to score.
The only two times these teams have met before were in the Champions League. That was 21 years ago as Villarreal progressed, 2-1 on aggregate.
Heading into this encounter, Benfica have already tested themselves in a friendly match, losing 2-1 to Flamengo in July. That was the 14th straight game in which Benfica scored, and they managed just three clean sheets in 15.
Villarreal are getting to play their first friendly match of this preseason and will be looking to extend their unbeaten run against Benfica. The Spanish side registered a win and a draw in the two meetings with Benfica previously.
The Yellow Submarines have lined up four friendly matches before kicking off their La Liga campaign. This will be the first, and they hope to do better than in earlier such matches.
In their last eight friendly outings, Villarreal managed just one win, three defeats, and drew the rest. The outstanding stat was the fact that in five of the eight matches, both teams scored.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Villarreal Prediction
The last time Villarreal traveled to Portugal to specifically play Benfica, they won 1-0. That was in 2005, and the only other time these two faced off, it ended 1-1. Here things will be a bit easy, without the pressures of the competitive matches.
We could, therefore, see goals on either end. This is true also looking at the two sides’ recent performances in attack. Villarreal failed to score only twice in 18 matches while Benfica scored in all their last 14 games. Our prediction for Benfica v Villarreal is BTTS.
