Benfica can easy to another Primeira Liga victory

Benfica dumped Vizela out of the Taca de Portugal quarter-finals earlier this month and they can run out comfortable winners again when the teams reconvene in Lisbon.

The capital club have posted 16 wins in their 21 league games this season and are so far holding off the challenges of Sporting and Porto at the summit.

And Roger Schmidt’s men have shown they can juggle multiple competitions, winning 2-1 against Toulouse in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Vizela could be out of their depth in Lisbon

As for Vizela, merely staying in the Portuguese top flight is proving to be a challenge with the team having sustained 11 defeats in 21 matches.

They are averaging just 0.76 points per game and will likely be out of their depth at the Estadio da Luz.

Benfica have scored at least two goals in 11 of their last 12 matches and, given Vizela’s poor record in front of goal, a bet on the hosts at -2 goals on the handicap – to win by three or more goals – looks wise.

As for a correct score bet, Benfica are worth backing to win this 3-0.

No Primeira Liga club have recorded more clean sheets (11) than Benfica, while Vizela have failed to score in a third of their league games (seven times in 21 matches).
