Benfica take on the visitors Estoril in the round 29 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Sunday, April 23rd at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon).
Benfica are currently in an unpleasant situation. "The Eagles" have already lost two championship matches in a row, and their solid lead in the race for first place has now been reduced to only four points. In the previous round, Benfica even suffered a defeat against the modest team of Chaves with a score of 0:1. As for the upcoming match, it is difficult to agree with the bookmakers' eagerness to bet on Benfica with a large negative handicap. In the last 20 matches in various tournaments, Benfica has only achieved a couple of really big victories. And now, when the form of the Portuguese club is clearly declining, it is even more difficult to expect a bright show from "The Eagles" with a final score like 5:0. Therefore, it is possible to consider the option of a positive handicap for Estoril in this match.

Estoril are currently fighting hard for survival. Yes, the team has suffered quite a few defeats, but the fight is more present on the part of Estoril in these matches. A couple of rounds ago, there was a match with Porto, and "The Canaries" lost only with a score of 2:3 in that game. Now, there is another top-level team for Estoril to face, but Benfica's current form clearly raises more questions than answers, and at the very least, the guests are capable of not losing by a large margin. Therefore, it is quite possible to take advantage of the bookmakers' offer and bet on a significant positive handicap for the guests at a reasonable coefficient.
The bookmakers are expecting a large victory for the hosts with a score of 4:0 or more. Benfica does not often please their fans with such big victories, and now, when "The Eagles" have entered a rather dubious period of results, their success in a big victory is not particularly believed. Therefore, the choice for the bet in this match is the handicap (+3) for Estoril.
Prediction for the match: Estoril to win with +3.0 handicap.
