Benfica vs Estoril Predictions

• Benfica’s league matches this season are averaging exactly three goals
• Estoril are yet to win on the road from six attempts in the Primeira Liga
• The hosts have won five of their last six fixtures on home soil

Benfica aiming for top spot

A thirteen-match unbeaten run is keeping Benfica in touch with top spot in the Primeira Liga, with the Estadio da Luz side winning 11 of those outings.

They have been particularly brilliant on home soil, maintaining a 100% record thanks to seven victories from seven attempts.

During that period, they have scored 23 times, already an average of more than 3+ per game before factoring in the fact they have also conceded three times.

Estoril up against it

That looks like a bad omen for opponents Estoril, who are yet to win an away league match this season, losing three and drawing three.

Indeed, they have failed to even score in three of their last four on the road, although the last two have still contained 3+ goals, including a 4-0 hammering at Porto.

In fact, Ian Cathro’s side have seen more than two goals scored in six of their last nine league outings, including three of the last four away from home.

I predict that Benfica will win this game and that there will be 3+ goals, selecting a 3-0 win as my correct score prediction.
