Match Preview
As Estrela Amadora prepares to host Benfica at the Estádio José Gomes, the contrasting form of the two teams sets the stage for an intriguing encounter. Estrela, struggling with just one point from their last five matches, will be keen to turn their fortunes around against a Benfica side that has found its rhythm, winning four of their last five fixtures. The hosts will need to shore up their defence, having conceded multiple goals in recent games, while Benfica's attacking prowess, highlighted by their ability to score freely, poses a significant threat.
A key angle to consider is Benfica's strong away record against Estrela, winning five of their last ten meetings, with four victories coming at home. Given the odds of 1.53 for over 2.5 goals, it seems likely that Benfica will dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. Estrela's best chance may lie in exploiting any defensive lapses from their opponents, but with Benfica's current form, a convincing away win appears probable.
