Famalicao continue the search for their first win of the 2025 calendar year on Friday night when they play Benfica away from home.
Benfica started the new year on a sour note, losing 2-1 to Braga in the league but have since enjoyed a run of success. Bruno Lage's side avenged that defeat with a 3-0 win over the Arsenalists before winning the Portuguese Cup on penalties against Sporting CP last weekend. Their last outing saw them beat Farense 3-1 in the League Cup and they will be looking to repeat that display in the Primeira Liga this week.
Famalicao meanwhile are winless since the third of November. The Blue and Whites come into Friday's game with a run of eight consecutive matches without a win - with four defeats and four draws. However, Hugo Oliveira's men will take heart from the fact that their last two points in the Portuguese top flight have come away from home.
Benfica vs Famalicao Betting Tips: Benfica to win & Under 3.5 goals
While Benfica will come into Friday’s game as clear favorites and I’m backing to secure all three points, the Eagles have not scored many goals in the league this season. Indeed, the hosts scored more than two goals in just one of their last seven matches and all seven games ended with under 3.5 goals.
Meetings between Benfica and Famalicao are not also known for being entertaining. Each of the last seven meetings between the two Portuguese sides ended with under 2.5 goals and I fancy a similar outcome on Friday night.
- Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals
- Benfica vs Famalicao prediction: 2-0

Famalicao team news
Ivan Zlobin is ruled out for this week’s trip to Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica due to kidney problems but head coach Hugo Oliveira has no injury concerns.
Óscar Aranda has been Famalicao’s go-to man in terms of goals this season and should lead the line alongside Sorriso and Gil Dias who have eight Liga Portugal goals between so far this season.
