Benfica to Win-to-Nil – No
It is quite surprising, with the history of both clubs that Portimonense scored quite a few goals against Benfica. In their last six h2h clashes, there was only one match when Portimonense didn't score a goal, and that was the first game of the current season. These stats are similar when we check the last five matches between these sides when Portimonense was the host. Four out of the past five times they met, there were plenty of goals from both sides of the field.
Over 2.5 Goals
We are taking a similar approach for the second Portimonense vs Benfica prediction. The head2head stats are the key in this aspect with seven out of their last ten matches crossing the line in question. The last couple of times when Benfica was the guest team, they won with the results of 2-1 and 5-1 respectively. Their season stats are in a different contrast. Benfica is expectedly a top three ‘over' team with three goals per contest being the average for the matches they played while Portimonense is on the other side of that fence with only eleven games that featured more than two goals. Their average is 2.1 goals per game.
