Benfica vs Estoril prediction 24.01.2024

• Competition: Taca da Liga
• Date: 24th January 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa

A place in the finals of the Portuguese League Cup will be at stake when Benfica and Estoril face each other on Wednesday night.

Despite currently being second in the Primeira Liga standings, Benfica has been showing outstanding form recently. They are heading into Wednesday’s game on a winning streak of eight straight games, having scored a minimum of three goals in five of these matches while only letting in five goals. The Eagles, who hold the record for most victories in Taca da Liga, last clinched the title in 2016. They were the second-placed team in 2022 and are targeting the championship this year.

This season, Estoril hasn’t provided their fans with much to celebrate. The Canaries are barely above the relegation zone in the Portuguese top-tier league with only a two-point lead, and they’re entering this game on a losing streak, having lost four times in their last four matches. Given that Vasco Seabra’s team hasn’t performed well against Benfica either, having been defeated in their last five encounters, another loss seems probable in Wednesday’s match.

Benfica vs Estoril Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

The recent matches between these two teams didn’t see many goals, but we anticipate a different outcome on Wednesday evening.

In recent weeks, Benfica’s offensive team has been going all out, scoring a minimum of two goals in their last six games. All six matches also saw over 2.5 goals, making all such bets successful.

In recent weeks, Estoril’s defence has been inconsistent. In their last ten matches, the visiting team managed to prevent any goals in only two games, letting in a minimum of three goals in three of the last four games. Nine of these games concluded with a minimum of three goals. I anticipate a similar outcome in Wednesday’s match.

• Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
