Benfica Lisbon - stats & current form

After playing 21 of 34 games in the Liga NOS, it is almost certain that Benfica Lisbon will not win the national championship this year either. The Encarnados are already 13 points behind their city rivals Sporting and are only fourth in the current table behind Braga and Porto.

After the Águias (in German: the eagles) also narrowly failed at Arsenal in the second round of the Europa League last week, Jorge Jesus' team only has one possible chance to win a title in the 2020/21 season: in the Taca de Portugal.

Will there be a new edition of the 2020 cup final?

Here the Encarnados have already made the preliminary decision in the first leg in the semi-finals. On February 11, 2021, Benfica fell 0: 1 behind at Estoril Praia, but then turned up and secured the away win with 3: 1 and a perfect starting position.

In theory, even a 2-0 defeat at home would be enough for the Encarnados to move into the final for the second time in a row. There they were defeated by FC Porto a year ago, but could get a chance for revenge against the Dragões, who also played well after a 1-1 draw in Braga in the first leg.

In 26 of the 29 competitive games of the 2020/21 season with his own goal
In view of the hopeless starting position after the 1: 3 home defeat at Benfica Lisbon against Estoril, the tip for the second final entry in the Taca de Portugal in the club history of the Canarinhos after 1944 is under a very bad star.

But at least the men of Bruno Pinheiro want to annoy the first division side in this second leg. Judging by the fact that Estoril Praia only failed to score three times in the 29 competitive games of the 2019/20 season and already scored in the first leg against Benfica, we trust the underdog at least to score at the Estádio da Luz.

Betting base forecast & Portugal Benfica Lisbon - Estoril Portugal tip

At Benfica Lisbon against Estoril, the prognosis cannot of course exclude the starting position. The Encarnados are "only" fourth in the NOS league and seem more vulnerable than ever. In fact, the leaders of the Segunda Liga need three, or even better four, goals in the Estádio da Luz. The chances of reaching the final are accordingly in the per mille range.

Free soccer predictions

Nevertheless, we trust the Canarinhos to bid farewell to the competition with a courageous appearance in Lisbon with their heads held high. In view of the difference in quality between the teams, it would be presumptuous to bet on a draw or the like. The away goal should be feasible.
