Benfica vs Aves Prediction & Betting tips
In order to continue expanding differences and thus heading the title, this Friday the Benfica leader jumps to the gramado of the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, where for the 16th day of the Portuguese First League, he receives the visit of a needy Bird Sports.
Benfica:
Those led by Bruno Lage began with all this 2020, since last weekend they added up to three, when they won by the minimum account in their visit to Vitória Guimaraes, and with this they remain in the first place of the First League of Portugal with 42 points, taking a four-point advantage to its strongest rival such as FC Porto.
With the victory against Guimaraes, the Eagles added a streak of eleven official games without knowing of defeats, where eight of them ended up in victories, and because this Friday they want to continue on that same path, and what better way to do it at home, where it comes to win his last eight official games, and taking into account his presentation in the Portuguese First League has only lost one of his eight games to his fans with the other seven ending in victories.
Aves :
For their part, those led by Nuno Santos do not raise their heads and thus started 2020 as they ended 2019, with a defeat.
So Desportivo Birds last weekend could not prevail their status as a homeowner and fell by the minimum difference before Santa Clara, which means that Desportivo Aves has lost thirteen of his last fourteen games, so these bad presentations have led to be in the last place of the Portuguese First League with six points in sixteen games played and everything indicates that he is the strongest candidate to lose the category, since the difference with the last team that is outside the red zone as is Pacos de Ferreira is eight points.
For a change, this Friday will have to play as a visitor, a condition not good for them, since Desportivo Aves has lost in its ten official games played this season, where the worst has been the defensive block since they have received a total of 30 goals in this amount of games, and for a change he faces a Benfica against whom they have not been able in their twelve direct confrontations where ten of them ended up in losses.
