In-form Benfica have another manageable match coming their way as they travel to second-tier side Farense in the Portuguese Cup. For this fifth-round assignment, Benfica carry a strong record against Farense. Read on to find our prediction of the match.

Hosts Farense haven't won any of their last 10 matches against Benfica. Neither did they have the perfect warmup coming into this match, losing 3-2 at Academico Viseu in a league game.

They will be looking to bounce back after their second loss in three matches. Their route so far in this competition has been smooth, beating AD Marco, Silves, and Vidago along the way. After scoring 10 goals in the three matches, here comes the toughest of them all.

Benfica have hit top form ahead of this game and carry into this encounter a seven-match unbeaten run, winning five. They are coming off a 4-0 win at Moreirense.

This purple patch comes at a good time, with Porto being their potential quarter-final opponent. Jose Mourinho’s side has only lost once in the last 10 matches, while posting seven wins in the process.

While it hasn’t turned out to be their best season, Benfica haven't lost a domestic game. To advance here, they beat Atletico CP 2-0 in the last round. They had earlier seen off Chaves by the same scoreline.
