Vizela vs Benfica Prediction and Betting Tips | February 25th 2023

Vizela will entertain league leaders Benfica at the Estádio do Vizela in the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The hosts are winless in their last three league outings and played out a 1-1 draw against Gil Vicente last week. Carvalho gave Gil Vicente the lead in the 55th minute and Christian Neiva Afonso equalized for Vizela in the 87th minute. It was his first goal of the campaign.

Benfica made it five wins in a row on Monday as they overcame Boavista 3-1 at home. All four goals were scored in the second half, with Gilberto, Goncalo Ramos, and Petar Musa scoring for Benfica.

They have a five-point lead over second-placed Porto at the top of the league standings and will need to keep their winning run alive to maintain a cozy lead.
