Famalicao vs Benfica Prediction & Betting tips
Promoter Famalicao welcomes Master Benfica. The guests have dropped back badly since the resumption of play in the title race with postage. The gap on the arch rivals is already six points. In the upcoming match, only one victory counts to maintain the mini-chance to defend the title.

Famalicao:
The kickers from the north presented themselves in an improved form after the end of the season break. Only one of the six games was lost. After a briefly weaker phase with three rounds without a win, Famalicao finally turned on the winning road again with a 1-0 win at Tondela.
However, it was a lucky success and in the upcoming match at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao Martinez Toni cannot appear in the attack due to a card block. A bitter loss, as the 23-year-old is the best scorer in the host’s jersey after Fabio Martins. From the point of view of the home side, hope again gives rise to the reliable defensive.
The statistics for Famalicao show the third worst home defensive, but this value is deceptive. The reason for the high number was above all a complete disaster on their own territory, in which the match against Guimaraes was lost with a 0: 7 crash in early February. If you subtract this unique debacle, the result is a much friendlier picture for the home side.
Famalicao defended well against the heavyweights of the Primeira Liga: Porto and Sporting scored only once and Braga did not score in the visiting game. Benfica also only scored 1-1 in the cup game about four months ago.
In view of this, the odds for a maximum of three hits in the course of the game are of great interest in the match between Famalicao and Benfica. At the moment, the bookmaker also has a lucrative STS bonus for new customers. The forecast is supported by the expectation that Famalicao will be very defensive.
For the promoted player, a draw would of course already be a success in the match against the runners-up.
Benfica:
The red-whites did not convince after the end of the game break. The playful problems already shown continued. On the penultimate matchday there was a second bankruptcy at the guest appearance in Madeira with Maritimo Funchal. This was reason enough for Bruno Lage to voluntarily vacate his coaching chair.
Until the end of the season, the previous assistant coach Nelson Verissimo will take on the job. The decision by Lage requires respect and has paid off. The long-awaited first home win and second three-pointers after the restart were achieved on the last day of the Verissimo debut.
The match against Boavista was won 3-1. The Encarnados are also stronger in terms of personnel. With Gabriel an important midfielder has returned. In the previous games it was only enough for shorter missions, but the Brazilian was on the pitch for almost 80 minutes against Boavista.
Here, the 26-year-old scored a goal and put on a goal. The importance of Gabriel in the Aguias control center was evident during his recent injury break. Without the South American, only one win was achieved in eight games.
Other recently weakening players such as Pizzi, the best provider of templates in the Primeira Liga, also presented themselves in an ascending form at the recent triumph.
