Benfica hosts Tondela in round 25 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Thursday, June 4th at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon)
Lisbon Benfica is one of the most titled teams in its country - the Eagles have 37 champion’s titles, and I cannot but note that today's hosts have been acting perfectly in recent years. If we look at the last six local championships, Benfica did not become a champion only once. The current tournament is quite difficult for the men of Bruno Lage - now the hosts are on the second line in the standings, lagging behind leading Porto by only one point. There are more than enough rounds until the end of the championship, but losing the Eagles shouldn’t lose points anymore because Porto may well not give many chances to them. Of course, Benfica acts very well on its pitch - the team won nine out of 12 home games. Now the middle peasant in the person of Tondela will come to da Luz. The Eagles beat it in the first away leg (1-0), and I think that the hosts will have no problems in the upcoming match.

Tondela miraculously escaped relegation in the last season by beating Chaves in the last decisive round at home (5-2). The team is not very confident in the current season either - now Tondela is nine points ahead of the relegation zone and the team can feel safe, but this is only due to the presence of obvious outsiders in the person of Portimonense and Aves. Tondela’s away game is quite decent, but it has tangible difficulties in confrontations with powerful opponents, so the Gold and Greens will have plenty of problems in the upcoming game.
It seems to me that it is worth betting on the home team. Benfica is on the second line, and only one point separates the hosts from the leading Porto. The Eagles have an incredible motivation, so I think that nothing depends on the visitors. I’ll bet on the victory of the hosts with a -1.5 handicap!
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win with -1.5 handicap
