Betting tip and prediction for this match between Benfica vs Farense
The best prediction for
Benfica vs Farense in the Primeira Liga is Benfica HT/FT. Benfica is the clear favourite to win this encounter. Not only are they a significantly stronger side, but they are also playing at home and are acutely aware that dropping points is not an option in their titanic struggle against Sporting. In these matches, where they are heavy favourites, Benfica must avoid complicating matters; hence, they need to assert themselves early and score quickly. This approach will deny their opponents any chance to believe they can equalise. Anticipating a dominant start from Benfica, along with the evident difficulties that Farense faces, particularly in defence, the bet on Benfica HT/FT seems well justified.

Benfica and Farense will meet at the Estádio Sport Lisboa e Benfica for the 27th round of the Primeira Liga. The last time these two sides clashed was on 02 November 2024, where Benfica secured a 2-1 victory away from home. The trend in recent direct encounters has favoured the home side, with Benfica winning 5 of the last 6 matchups and drawing 1. Their last meeting on 14 January 2025 resulted in another win for Benfica, ending with a scoreline of 3-1. Though this match features the 2nd placed team against the 17th, it’s important to note that Benfica excels at home, ranking 1st in home matches, while Farense sits 11th when playing away.
Team analysis: Benfica
Following 20 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, Benfica currently occupies 2nd position in the league, boasting 59 points. In their most recent fixture, they triumphed over Gil Vicente with a commanding 3-0 scoreline, after previously edging past Rio Ave with a 3-2 victory away from home. Benfica has demonstrated their prowess at home, amassing 36 points at the Estádio da Luz, scoring 40 goals while only conceding 7, compared to 23 points achieved on the road with 22 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last 10 home matches in the league, Benfica has recorded 9 wins and just 1 loss, claiming 27 out of a possible 30 points. Their attacking unit has been consistently reliable, finding the back of the net in every one of their last 10 league games. Additionally, in 11 of their last 13 matches, they have seen over 2.5 goals. In 26 matches played in this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times but have managed to turn the score in their favour on 3 occasions.
Benfica remains fully committed to reclaiming the top slot after a hiatus from the Champions League. Their main aim is the league title, prompting them to strengthen their squad during the winter transfer market with pivotal signings such as Dahl, Belotti, and Bruma. Furthermore, they have welcomed back Florentino and Di Maria, returning to the helm of Bruno Lage, making them a more formidable and cohesive unit with various options for squad deployment. Currently, they are enjoying a run of 7 consecutive victories in the Portugal League, and in 6 of those victories, they scored 3 goals per match. In essence, Benfica is in superb form as they prepare to host Farense in this important 27th round fixture.
Team analysis: Farense
The visitors find themselves in 17th place, with only 17 points accrued from 3 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses. Their penultimate match saw them drawing away to Estoril with a score of 2-2, while their last match ended in a 0-1 defeat at home against Sporting Braga. Interestingly, Farense has achieved superior results away from home compared to their performances at their own stadium, having collected 10 points on the road versus just 7 at home. In the league, they have managed to win only 10 points from a possible 30, securing 1 victory, 7 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 away matches. In terms of the first half, the score at halftime has often been 0-0 in 6 of their 13 league games. Defensively, they have struggled, allowing goals in 8 of their last 10 league matches, which demonstrates their weakness at the back. Throughout the 26 matches in this competition, Farense conceded the first goal 15 times without managing to overturn the scoreline.
With their ambitions of survival becoming increasingly doubtful, Farense, known as the “Faro Lions,” remains in the relegation zone with a 6-point gap from safety, currently occupied by AVS. Furthermore, they have been winless in their last 11 outings. With only 8 matches remaining in the season, Farense desperately needs to find a way to secure points, but facing Benfica at their home ground poses a daunting challenge, with the likelihood of yet another defeat being high.
