Benfica vs Estoril Preview & Prediction

Throughout the 2022/23 Primeira Liga campaign, Roger Schmidt's Benfica have been basically exceptional across all competitions. However, the home team come into this on the back of a 3-3 draw away to Inter Milan in their most recent outing, during the midweek, completing a 5-3 aggregate loss in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. That two-legged European defeat has been combined with back-to-back losses in the league. Firstly in O Classico to Porto and then against Chaves, seeing their lead at the top-of-the-table cut to four points ahead of this weekend's round of fixtures. They now face an Estoril side that were beaten 1-0 by Portimonense last weekend and have been awful throughout this calendar year as they battle against relegation. Benfica should get back on track with a comfortable victory in this one, especially at Estadio da Luz.
