Benfica vs Chaves Prediction & Betting Tips (29 March)

Heading for back-to-back? This is what is at stake at the end of the season for the residents of La Luz who hope to once again win the championship, a 39th victory in their history. For the moment, they occupy the second spot with a small point behind their favorite neighbors, Sporting. Clearly, in the event of a victory this evening, Di Maria and his teammates would temporarily take the place of leader since the Lions will play later in the evening on the lawn of the promoted, Estrela. How can we think of defeat when we see the dazzling state of form of the locals who remain on two victories in the league against Estoril 3-1 and on the pitch of Casa Pia during the last day in date 0-1. As a bonus, the Eagles will challenge OM in the quarter-finals of the Europa League soon following their qualification obtained against the Rangers 2-2 in the first leg, 0-1 on the return in Scotland.

Opposite, we find everything simply the dunce of the championship, Chaves, who has not yet said his last word in the race to maintain but who will have to quickly raise the curtain since the days go by and the points counter is blocked. Indeed, the visitors have won only one of their last 14 league matches for a dismal record of seven defeats and therefore, six draws. Before leaving for the break, they gave up the 3 points to the sublime team of Guimaraes 1-2 in the wake of their draw on the turf of Gil Vicente 0-0 or their tough at home against Arouca violent defeat 1 -5.

On paper, Benfica will evolve almost completely if we exempt the injury of the player loaned by PSG, Juan Bernat while Kocku is sidelined by the coach. Arriving from Santos FC this winter following the Brazilian club's relegation to D2, Marcos Leonardo has done a lot of damage in the league with 5 goals in just 9 appearances. At his side, boys like Di Maria (8 goals, 6 assists) and Rafa Silva (12 pawns, 11 goals in the league only) are in charge to send him into orbit. On the bottom side, the holder in the defensive sector, Sandro Cruz (formerly Benfica) will be absent due to injury.

The same goes for Phete (substitute). For the rest, the group will travel to the capital in its entirety, including the interesting Hector Marrero (13 goals in 25 appearances) who, despite the major shortcomings of his team, manages to do well. It is ultimately, the only satisfaction for Chaves.
