2.77Tip and bets
The hosts won their last victories with a dry score, so you can hardly expect scoring exploits from Nacional in this match. The guests are much inferior in class and are unlikely to be able to hit the gates of a contender for the championship. At the same time, you should not expect a defeat, but Benfica recently played a difficult match in the Champions League, so they will probably try to win without spending a lot of effort. Most likely, the hosts will score one or two goals, and then calmly bring the game to victory.
Our betting tip is a total of less than three goals in 2.10
Betting on the outcome
The hosts failed in the Champions League, but on the domestic stage Benfica continues to dominate most of the rivals. The team will try to show their best football at their stadium and will clearly be able to defeat their opponent. On the road, the Eagles beat National with a score of 2:0, at home they will surely be able to win no less confidently.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Benfica in 1.63
Betting on corners
Benfica is the favorite and will probably put pressure on the opponent's defense for the entire 90 minutes. This should lead to an overwhelming advantage for the home team in corner kicks.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-5.5) on the Moscow Benfica in the corners for 1.90
