THE PREDICTION
This is an intriguing time for Portimonense to host Benfica, with the home side on a three-match winning streak and the visitors losing at home to Gil Vicente on Saturday to snap their 10-match unbeaten run. There is a sense that Porto and especially Sporting Lisbon are getting too far away to catch for Benfica now as they sit currently in third place and that could lead to a difficult last seven games of the season. Meanwhile Portimonense have scored nine goals and conceded just once in three wins over Nacional, Vitoria Guimaraes and Famalicao and that takes some of the pressure off a tough match here in their fight for survival. Notably, Portimonense have not lost to Benfica at home since 2018 and that would make double chance for the hosts an interesting one-off selection here. Otherwise take both teams to score and leave a tricky result up to chance.
