Following their title win last season, Benfica once again emerges as the strongest contender for yet another trophy. They’ve maintained an unbeaten streak in their last four matches across all competitions. However, their most recent match against Moreirense on the road was less than stellar, ending in a 0-0 draw. Despite dominating possession at 66%, Benfica was unable to convert this advantage into goals, resulting in a point split between the two teams.
In the Portuguese national league, Farense is among the half of the teams battling to stave off relegation. The team, managed by Jose Mota, sits six points clear of the relegation zone, but a few poor performances could easily alter this. Currently, Farense’s form is good, having won two out of the last three matches. However, they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against Vitoria Guimaraes in their most recent match. Despite the loss, the primary reason for Farense’s failure was the 11 additional shots on goal made by the visiting team.
Benfica vs Farense pick: Benfica to win and cover AH -2 spread
Benfica has been demonstrating a strong performance on their home ground, boasting a 4-1-0 record and 10:2 goal difference at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon. Conversely, Farense has a record of 2-0-3 and 8:8 when playing away. Therefore, the most promising bet for this match would be for Benfica to win and cover an AH -2 spread.

Benfica team news
Following a goalless draw against Moreirense, Benfica’s head coach, Roger Schmidt, expressed his dissatisfaction. He maintained that his team had performed better but failed to score. Schmidt suggested that a 1-0 win for Benfica would have been more fitting, but acknowledged that fairness doesn’t necessarily matter in the end. He sees a promising opportunity for Benfica to bounce back in their upcoming Friday match against Farense.
David Neres and Juan Bernat are sidelined with injuries and won’t be participating in the forthcoming match, while the status of Alexander Bah remains uncertain.

Farense team news
Fabricio Isidor, Farense’s midfielder, received a red card in the second half of the previous round. Consequently, he is suspended and will not participate in Friday’s game.
Despite stepping in as a substitute that time, Izidoro’s consistent presence in every game this season means his absence could significantly impact Farense.
