Join us as we continue our Portuguese Liga odds series, where we make our Benfica-Boavista prediction and pick.
Boavista are also winless on their travels in the Primeira Liga since September and have not won at Benfica since 1999. In what seems to be a Benfica side that fires on all cylinders, Boavista should look to improve their defensive metrics of 15.8 tackles, 10.5 interceptions, 19.2 clearances, and three saves per game. While Boavista will be looking to find their groove this weekend, Benfica has just been unstoppable all season long. Although Petit’s side is now unbeaten in four straight home games, claiming two victories and two deadlocks, an unsuccessful run on the road has prevented them from settling into the top half of the league table. The key for Benfica is to replicate their domestic stats of 17.4 total shots, 8.3 successful dribbles, 8.2 corners, and 66.2% ball possession per game. The Aguias bounced back with a 2-0 over Club Brugge in the Champions League and hopes to jumpstart another series of wins. They are posting the best goals scored and goal differential this season, with 51 goals fielded and 12 goals conceded. Joao Mario delivered a goal just after halftime before David Neres sealed the victory with a goal in the 88th minute. They have 26 points earned from seven wins, five draws, and eight losses. Roger Schmidt is determined to make the best tactics to secure Portugal’s most coveted silverware in the football division. They are hoping to push for their first win this February. Their encounter with Sporting Braga in the Taca de Portugal ended with a loss in a 5-4 penalty shootout.
League leaders Benfica will entertain eighth-placed Boavista at the Estadio da Luz in the Primeira Liga on Monday (February 20).
The most likely scoreline for a Benfica win is 2-0 with a probability of 12.28%. Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Benfica win with a probability of 80.83%. While Boavista will be looking to find their feet this weekend, they face a rampant Benfica side who are currently firing on all cylinders. Considering the same, the league leaders should secure a comfortable win. Benfica have a two-point lead over second-placed Porto and also have a game in hand, so they can afford to start a few key players from the bench. They continued their form in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday, winning 2-0 at Club Brugge.

Benfica restored their 5-point lead at the top of the Primeira Liga after a 3-1 win against Boavista but were made to work hard by the Panthers.
Gilberto slipped a short pass into the box, towards Gonçalo Ramos but the Portugal striker had plenty to do. He showed wonderful awareness and skill to with three subtle touches, control the ball, sit his marker Sasso, and slots it coolly across Bracali into the corner of the net. Up stepped João Mário, who had been Mr Reliable from the spot all season, but Bracali added to his brilliant display be diving to his left to make the save. The impressive Boavista goalkeeper was eventually beaten in the next attack. The loud celebrations from the big crowd were cut short just two minutes later though. The referee issued a yellow.
