Vizela vs Benfica Prediction and Betting Tips
Benfica visit the Estadio do Vizela stadium on Saturday (September 16) to face Vizela in the Primeira Liga, looking to extend their winning run in the league to four games.
After beating Porto to the Portuguese Supercup, Benfica began their top-flight campaign with a 3-2 loss to Boavista. However, the Eagles have turned their fortunes around since then, winning against Estrela Amadora (2-0), Gil Vicente (3-2), Vitoria (4-0).
With nine points in four games, Benfica are fourth in the league table. A win will add wind to their sails ahead of their UEFA Champions League opener on Wednesday against RB Salzburg.
Vizela, meanwhile, cut themselves some slack before the international break by picking up their first top-flight win of the season. A 56th-minute goal from Matheus Pereira was enough to earn them all three points against Gil Vicente, having lost twice and drawn once in their opening three games.
That propelled the side out of the relegation zone to 12th place with four points from as many games.
