Our Prediction
The departure from the Europa League was not a tragedy for "Benfica". The Lisbon club has shown excellent results in the league and cup.
"Belenenses" rely on a reliable defense, but in the confrontation with the attacking "Eagles", the home team can hardly count on a positive result. We offer a combined rate for the benefit of the guests.
Our prediction is "Benfica's" victory + total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2 on 1xbet.
