Benfica hosts Boavista in round 6 of the Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Monday, September 20th at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon)
Benfica had a tough match in Kyiv on Tuesday. By and large, it was the Portuguese who were supposed to win there in a dispute with a direct competitor for 3rd place (Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also in the group). But Boyko saved after all shots of Yaremchuk and company, and even those that were delivered from the penalty area. At the same time, it was Dynamo who scored in the added minutes thanks to Shaparenko's efforts, and only with the help of VAR an offside position was discovered. Will the spent energy not affect the results in Primeira? However, the matches of the qualification of the European Cups did not prevent the Eagles from starting with five victories in a row in the championship.

Boavista is sometimes still perceived through the prism of the successes at the turn of the century. But after that, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, especially since this club was involved in scandals and experienced severe sanctions. It was able to return to Primeira back in 2014, but now it is nothing more than a middle peasant. Over the past years, the Panthers have never managed to rise above the 8th place, and they scored only 36 points in the last championship, which brought a modest 13th position. It was the worst result in five years. But in the summer, the management appointed Joao Pedro Sousa, a specialist who is already 50, but who is still little known. It helped: after losing 0-3 to Gil Vicente in the opening round, Boavista earned eight points in four subsequent rounds.
Benfica gained six victories in the last seven head-to-head matches. The only exception was Boavista's last home game, when the Panthers finally won. Benfica is stronger and must win again. But it cannot hammer everyone in a row, like Santa Clara in the last round. Boavista will resist, and it is worth taking a closer look at the option with the visitors’ victory with a +2 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Boavista to win with +2.0 handicap
