Pacos Ferreira vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal

 by James | in Liga Portugal Prediction

Liga NOS leaders Benfica follow up their Lisbon derby win over Sporting Club last week with a match away to a Pacos de Ferreira team battling relegation. While the Eagles enjoy a six-point lead at the summit of the division, life is not so comfortable for their counterparts. Pacos have steadied the ship somewhat in recent weeks (managing to go unbeaten in four games) but are still not getting enough wins to ensure their safety (with only three victories from their last eight matches). The main reason for their tricky predicament is that they don't score enough goals. With only 11 goals in 17 matches this season, Pacos are scoring an average of 0.78 goals per game. Their current league position (15th and two points above the drop) and recent history (Maritimo last season) suggest that it's possible to stay up with such a low goal average.

While further contribution at that end of the pitch would help, we don't see a deviation of the norm this Sunday. Well, there might be a deviation in the sense that Pacos will lower their average. They have only managed to score once in their last six matches against Benfica. Defending better than ever before, Benfica have a rock-solid backline with one of the best records in Europe. They have only conceded six goals in 17 matches, keeping clean sheets in 62% of their games. It's better than any team in the Big Five leagues (for example, Liverpool have managed clean sheets in 50% of their matches). On a run of 14 consecutive wins, Benfica look a cert to win again here. We back them to do it with a clean sheet.

Our Pacos Ferreira vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction

One of the most dominant teams in Europe, Benfica don't look like losing any time soon. In fact, their winning streak looks like it has fuel in the tank. We see it continuing against lower-table opposition. Pacos, who have badly struggled for goals this season, will find the going even tougher against a backline featuring Alex Grimaldo and Ruben Dias. Benfica to win with a clean sheet is the bet to make.
