Benfica vs Setubal Prediction & Betting tips
In order to enforce the house and continue in the fight for the title, this Saturday the always candidate for the Portuguese soccer title as Benfica is preparing to receive the visit of Vitória Setúbal, in play that corresponds to the 7th day of the First League of Portugal.
Benfica :
As usual, the Eagles have started with the entire season in Portuguese football where they aspire to retain the crown.
Thus of the six games played by those led by Bruno Lage five of them ended in victories and the other was defeat, although that fall was before his bitter rival in the fight for the title such as FC Porto.
In recent weeks the results have been different for the Eagles who in the middle of the week could not just before the team for Taca da Liga and drew at zero goals, but it must be said that in that game Lage made a series of modifications in the eleven stellar and this diminished in the actions of the team.
But now, which plays for three important points that will help put pressure on the amazing leader Famalicao, Benfica aims to show all his offensive power to get the victory and incidentally arrive with great confidence for his midweek game in the UEFA Champions League where he will visit the Zenit of Russia.
Vitória Setúbal :
On the other hand, the performance shown by those directed by Acácio Santos can be said to have been positive since the Vitória Setúbal team has only lost a game of its six commitments for the Portuguese First League.
But yes, it must be said that it has cost him to be able to win since four of these six games have ended in a draw.
The last weekend they could not enforce the locality and they had to settle for a warm draw at zero goals against Portimonense and thus added a streak of four games without losing.
One of the strengths that Vitória Setúbal has had in this season start is his good work in defense, since they have only received four goals in these first six games, but these goals came in a single game and it was when he visited FC Porto , making it clear that this defensive solvency cannot be maintained when he faces top teams of Portuguese football and for a change he now visits a Benfica against whom they have lost in six of their last seven visits to Lisbon.
