Pacos de Ferreira is another representative of elite division, but it’s hard to compare levels of the opponents in this matches. The visiting side is only 13th in the league with 16 poitns gained after 15 matches. The team is awful in away matches, recording only one victory in 10 games on the road with two draws and seven defeats taken. Moreover, recent five away games since the middle of October were lost without a single scored goal.
Benfica and Pacos de Ferreira have faced one another two times in 2016 and the Eagles were stronger both times, 3-0 and 3-1. Of course, the hosts are favorites of the matchup and they should prove their high level on any reserve players in lineup.
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
