Betting suggestion:

The bet we recommend for this game is the '' both teams to score - yes ''. Even playing away from home, it is anticipated that Benfica will dominate the whole game and have the best opportunities to score, as it presents a superior team to the opponent of this round. On the other hand, Portimonense presents major failures in the defensive sector, however, the attack has matched and scored several goals. In this way, we believe in a very open and fast game, making risking in favor of the goals for both sides a good option.
