Prediction

  • SL Benfica head into Sunday's game after securing a spot at the Europa League last 16. However, they were far from convincing in the goalless draw with Toulouse and need to improve if they want to keep the pressure on rivals Sporting CP.
  • Portimonense were able to hold Vitória SC to a draw, ending a run of consecutive defeats. They will look to return to winning ways here as they're dropping dangerously close to the relegation zone.
  • The visitors have been able to trouble SL Benfica at Estádio da Luz. In the last three matches, they've managed to beat the Eagles and only lost by a narrow margin and things are not expected to be easy for the hosts, but they're likely to get all three points.
