Famalicao
Famalicão are a solid mid-table side in the Primeira Liga, but performances drop noticeably when facing the league’s top teams such as Braga, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, and Benfica.
This season, meetings against those sides excluding Benfica so far have all ended in defeats. Porto were faced twice, with the same outcome on both occasions.
Head-to-head history against Benfica also favours the Lisbon side heavily, with Famalicão recording 7 losses, 2 wins, and 1 draw.
What we say
Benfica to Win
Benfica sit eight points off the top and will be determined to maintain pressure in the title race, especially in matches against mid-table opposition. Considering Famalicão’s struggles against top-four teams and Benfica’s strong home record in this fixture, four wins and one draw in the last five home meetings the hosts enter this match as clear favourites.
