Betting tip and prediction for this match between Estrela Amadora vs Benfica

The best prediction for Estrela Amadora vs Benfica in the Primeira Liga is that Benfica will score in both halves. Benfica’s schedule is relatively relaxed at the moment, giving manager Bruno Lage ample time to prepare his team, aiming for a strong performance. This matchup against Estrela may further showcase Benfica’s confidence, but it’s important to note that they are still searching for solutions to enhance their attacking depth. If Estrela can solidly position their defence and midfield, they may pose a challenge. Nonetheless, a strong start from Benfica is anticipated, especially seeing as they tend to score in the first half, making this prediction quite plausible.

Match preview: Estrela Amadora vs Benfica

The match will take place at the José Gomes Stadium, in Round 2 of the Primeira Liga. Recent head-to-head encounters favour the visitors, who have secured 6 victories in their last 6 matches. The last fixture between these two teams, on 2nd February 2025, ended in a 3-2 victory for Benfica. The home advantage could play a critical role, as both teams demonstrate significant discrepancies in their home and away results.

Team analysis: Estrela Amadora

Estrela Amadora enters this second round following a draw in their opening match of the league against Estoril (1-1). This is a team that thrives at home, and their recent form reflects their struggles when playing away, with only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors. In contrast, they have achieved 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses at home, with 18 goals scored and 20 conceded. Their defensive capabilities need strengthening, as they have conceded in 8 of their last 10 matches, while their attack has floundered, failing to score in 7 of those fixtures. In the past 15 matches, they were unable to turn matches around after conceding first. Notably, of the 24 goals they conceded over the last 17 home matches across all competitions, 9 were conceded in the last 15 minutes.

Estrela hosts Benfica in this second round of the Primeira Liga, hoping to overturn recent trends where they have lost the last 5 encounters to Benfica at home. In their opening match, Estrela demonstrated competence under L. Silva’s guidance, effectively exploiting the spaces left by their opponents. Although they may revert to a transitional style, Benfica’s superior capabilities present a significant challenge. Nonetheless, last season, Estrela put up a good fight against Benfica, losing narrowly (2-3). Securing points against a stronger Benfica will be crucial for Estrela’s ambitions this season.

Team analysis: Benfica

Benfica surprisingly boasts better results when playing away compared to at home, with 12 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 30 away games, scoring 34 goals while conceding just 12. At home, they have recorded 10 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss, with a total of 37 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their most recent match in the UEFA Champions League, they secured a 2-0 victory against Nice. Benfica has been consistent in their attacking performance, managing to score in every match over their last 10 games. Historically, they have struggled to recover from being behind, failing to turn around situations in 4 matches in which they conceded first.

Benfica’s opening match in the Portugal League was postponed. Hence, the last 3 matches, including one Super Cup fixture, will serve as a reference. Bruno Lage’s squad has demonstrated solid defensive stability and effective finishing in their opportunities, solidifying their confidence. This motivated Benfica will aim to repeat their positive outcomes as they visit Estrela’s stadium, where they have found success in recent encounters, each match yielding more than 2.5 goals, with the “both teams to score” market seen in 80% of those clashes.
