Benfica on Burnley in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 25th at Estádio do Restelo (Lisbon).
Benfica, as the champion of Portugal, are brilliantly starting their preparation for the new season, winning 4 friendly matches out of 4. The "eagles" defeated Basel in Switzerland (3-1), Celta (2-0), Al-Nasr Cristiano Ronaldo (4-1), and Southampton (2-0). They haven't scored less than 2 goals in any of these matches. Even against Burnley, who has just begun their preparation for the season, Benfica is considered the favorite. Roger Schmidt's system of play has been integrated excellently, and World Cup champion Angel Di Maria, who returned to Benfica after many years, is making an impact by scoring goals and providing assists. There's no doubt that Benfica will play with confidence on their home turf in Lisbon.

Burnley confidently won the Championship under the guidance of Vincent Kompany and quickly returned to the Premier League after relegation. At the moment, the team under the Belgian coach has played only one preseason match and lost 0-2 to the Belgian vice-champion, Genk. Clearly, having just returned to the top division in England, Burnley is still in the process of gaining form and currently cannot match Benfica in terms of fitness. It's evident that the English side will look to exploit counterattacks to trouble the hosts.
However, overall, there is a strong feeling that Benfica's winning streak, which looks formidable in this preseason, will continue. The "eagles" are in great shape, and in terms of preparation for the season, they appear stronger than their opponents, who are just getting back into action. Additionally, Benfica has the advantage of experience and a stronger squad, especially with the support of their home fans. I'm not looking for any complicated bets here; I'll simply take Benfica's victory based on their class. A 5 out of 5 in friendlies is highly probable.
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win.
