APWin Prediction

BTTS - No

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Benfica win or draw

Even though Benfica will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Benfica to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Benfica does have its share of flaws, but Farense has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Benfica.

👉 Our prediction is: Benfica to win the 1st half

Benfica to win the first half is our top tip for this match. The visitors have the tools on both ends of the pitch to give their hosts some serious trouble, which makes them such an intriguing bet.

Meanwhile, their half-time odds are also more appealing and bring better value than the result of the full match.
