Estrela have been showing inconsistent results in the pre-season, alternating wins and losses, but they started the new season with a productive draw with Estoril away (1:1). The home game could give them motivation, but the defense remains vulnerable against strong attacks.
Benfica are in excellent form, having won 4 of the last 5 matches, including important victories over Nice (2:0) in the UEFA Champions League qualification and Sporting (1:0) in the Portuguese Super Cup. The team demonstrates a powerful attack, but sometimes makes mistakes in defense, as the players are more busy with matches in the European Cup qualification, so we do not think that the visitors will easily get a victory.
Estrela to lose by 1 goal or not to lose at all. We recommend the “1 Hand (+1.5)” bet, odds 2.3
