Farense take on the visitors Benfica in the round 30 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Monday, April 22nd at Estádio de São Luís (Faro).
Farense are already devoid of tournament tasks. The Lions of Algarve were just one of the provincial Portuguese clubs with no special history or achievements, but in the 90s, they managed to reach the cup final and try themselves on the European stage. Recently, the team has alternated between the top division of the country and the second league. They managed to climb from there again in 2023. It's clear that the task remains the same: to avoid relegation this time. And they are succeeding, despite a dismal period at the junction of winter and spring. But in April, they won at home against Boavista and drew away against Guimaraes.

Benfica have not been able to maintain their position as leaders of Portuguese football from the very beginning of this season. This applies to the international arena as well: if last season Roger Schmidt's wards were participants in the Champions League playoffs, now they only finished third in the group at the last moment. But this allowed them to play in the Europa League. They managed to deal with Toulouse and Rangers Glasgow there. In the quarterfinals, after winning 2-1 against Marseille at home, they lost minimally in regular time in France and ultimately lost in extra time. On the domestic front, Trubin and company in April seem to have capitulated to their neighbor - Sporting. They lost to them in the cup semifinals and in the Primeira Liga, increasing the gap. Well, at least they beat Moreirense 3-0 last time.
In December, the lions managed to interrupt a series of defeats to the capital's grandeur, even drawing the match 1-1 in Lisbon. The visitors from Lisbon are certainly stronger. Here you can bet on their victory with a handicap of -1.
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win with -1.0 handicap.
