Estoril Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be open, since Estoril needs to add all three points and Benfica wants to continue to fight for the first position of the Portuguese championship. Benfica, however, is expected to dominate much of the match and create the best opportunities, as it has a much better squad, but fast transitions from Estoril should create a number of problems for the away team. Given this and also taking into account the defensive failures of the teams, risking in favor of the goals in this game is a good option.

Estoril is going through a period of insecurity of the season, however, in the last game they team beat Portimonense by 0-1. It is important to emphasize that the locals need to win to leave the relegation zone. In this match against Benfica, coach Ivo Vieira should continue to use the usual tactical system, namely the 4-2-3-1, with Bruno Gomes being the most advanced man on the team. On the other hand, Allano Lima is the best scorer of Estoril with 5 goals scored. We remember that the local players present enormous competence in the counterattack: Lucas Evangelista is one of the great dangers in this type of transition. For this game the home coach can not count on Victor Andrade, suspended, in addition to Thiago, Gonçalo Brandão, Kléber and Kyriakou, players recovering from injury. Pêpe is out of the game for being loaned by Benfica.
