Title hopefuls Benfica are away to Estoril this Saturday seeking to gain an edge in the Portuguese Primeira Liga title race. They arrive for this match in second place, more than 30 points clear of their hosts down in eighth place. Below is our prediction for this match.
Estoril got back to winning ways last time out with a dominant 3-1 victory at Casa Pia. The win snapped a run of two successive losses and allowed them to leapfrog their hosts in the standings.
Ian Cathro’s men have now won 11 of 31 matches and, with nine draws, are on 42 points. The Canaries, though mathematically in with a chance at Europe, are nine points adrift of the top seven with three games to go.
Benfica are involved in a hotly contested title race and cannot afford to let up from now till the final game. Bruno Lage’s men are tied on 75 points with Sporting, who edge them on goal difference.
The two teams have been in exceptional form this season and have won a combined 47 league matches. Benfica, who haven’t lost to Estoril in the league for more than 20 years, haven’t lost any of their last nine games.
They have won eight times in this period, with the recent victory being a 6-0 thumping of AVS.
