Benfica hosts Vizela in round 26 of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Friday, March 11th at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon)
Benfica is going through a difficult season and does not claim the champion’s title at all. Minimal victories over Portimonense and Santa Clara, a draw with Boavista, and an unexpected home defeat to Gil Vicente are evidence of instability. The management has not decided on the head coach either. The Eagles continue to fight for the Champions League success in the current season and the next one, and only good performance in this tournament can save the season. Now Benfica is waiting for the return game with Ajax, and the bet will be made on it. The Eagles look good and score a lot in front of their fans, but they gained only two home victories with a difference of more than two goals in the current Portuguese championship.

For Vizela, who has promoted to the Portuguese football elite for the first time after almost forty years, the current 14th position can already be considered a success. However, a severe struggle for survival is just ahead. Only four points separate the White-Blues from the direct relegation zone. And the results of the last rounds are definitely not positive for their fans. Vizela earned only two points in the last five rounds, but this team rarely loses with a big score: 0-2 against Sporting, 1-3 versus FC Porto, and a minimal 0-1 defeat to the Eagles in the game of the first round. Yes, Vizela conceded more on foreign pitches but lost only half of the away rounds.
Benfica doesn't look like an unstoppable offensive team in the current season. The Eagles have enough skill not to lose points in the game versus such an opponent, but it’s not worth talking about a romp before the match with Ajax. It will not give anything from a tournament point of view, if only it will raise the morale of the acting head coach. Benfica's game is not always stable, so it is worth considering the victory of Vizela with a +2 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Vizela to win with +2.0 handicap
