Benfica host Guimaraes in Liga Portugal with both teams experiencing contrasting fortunes. Benfica have dominated recent encounters, winning the last four clashes without conceding. Guimaraes continue to struggle in attack and have not beaten Benfica since 2013. Gianluca Prestianni is expected to play a key role for Benfica. The prediction is for Benfica to secure another win, likely with a clean sheet, as their superior form and home advantage suggest a challenging evening for Guimaraes.

Guimaraes have one of the weakest attacks in Liga Portugal and haven't beaten Benfica since 2013. The hosts should be far too strong here and get the win with a clean sheet.

HTH

Eagles Fall Behind in Liga Portugal


Benfica went unbeaten in their opening 13 matches this season which includes an eight game winning streak. The highlight was a 7-0 win at Casa Pia where Vangelis Pavlidis hit a hat-trick.

The Eagles made a winning start in the Europa League, earning a 2-0 victory at AC Milan. Dodi Lukébakio and Jakub Kaminski scored to register their first win against the Italian club.

Marco Silva’s side lost 3-1 at Porto before the international break. They were 1-0 down when Clément Lenglet was sent off, Alexander Bah equalising but unable to stop the champions.

Scoring Woes for Guimaraes


Guimaraes have been struggling this season, their only win coming in a 1-0 home victory over Nacional. They have scored only five goals.

Tiago Margarido’s side lost 2-1 at Academico Viseu in their previous road trip. They had 22-10 shots and 2.23-1.86 xG, conceding the second goal in added time.

Vitoria fell behind against Moreirense last time out. Toni Borevkovic equalised in the 95th minute which could have been enough to save Margarido from being sacked.
