Benfica vs Tondela Prediction

As Águias dropped points for the first time on Wednesday as they were held to a goalless draw by Fenerbahce in the UEFA Champions League qualifying playoffs. Notably, they are yet to concede in five games this season.

Bruma, Manu Silva, and Alexander Bah remain sidelined with injuries. With the second leg of the Champions League qualifiers scheduled for Wednesday, Bruno Lage might look to rest key players here.

Auriverdes have conceded four goals without scoring in two league games this season and will look to improve upon that record. Notably, their last two wins in the Primeira Liga have been registered away from home.

The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten run this season, keeping five consecutive clean sheets, and are expected to record a comfortable win here.
