Chaves vs Benfica Prediction and Betting Tips | April 15th 2023

Chaves will welcome league leaders Benfica to the Estadio Municipal de Chaves in the Primeira Liga on Saturday.

The hosts are winless in their last two league games and were held to a goalless draw by Gil Vicente in their previous outing. If they can record a win in this match, it will help them regain their spot in the upper half of the league table.

Benfica saw their 10-game winning run in the league come to an end last week as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against reigning champions and arch-rivals Porto.

The visitors' poor form continued in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against Inter Milan, suffering a 2-0 defeat at home.

The hosts have been the second-best side in their meetings against the visitors and have just one win to their name since 1992. They have recorded eight wins this season and just three of them have come at home.

As Águias have the best attacking and defensive record in the league this season. They also have a great record against the hosts and should face no trouble in recording a win.
