APWin Prediction

Correct Score: 0 - 0

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

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After analysing the odds in the different markets, our best betting tip for this match is on the corners market and taking the total to go under 9.5 corners.

We anticipate Porto vs Benfica to be quite a controlled match with the main action concentrated in the middle of the pitch. That should limit the number of opportunities for corners, and so the odds of 1.65 for 9 corners or fewer looks quite attractive.

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

Porto comes into their match with Benfica with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

The odds for an outright home win on the 1X2 market are not that appealing, so we recommend taking Porto to win the first half to get the most value out of your bet.
