Benfica vs Farense Betting Tips - Benfica to Win/Over 2.5 Team Goals

Benfica will be looking to maintain the pressure on title-rivals Sporting when they take on relegation-threatened Farense this week. With momentum firmly on their side and a dominant home record, another comfortable win for the hosts seems likely at Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica.

Roger Schmidt’s side are locked in a tight title race with Sporting, sitting three points behind their rivals, having played one game fewer than the league leaders. 

Benfica have hit their best form at just the right time, winning seven league matches in a row, including a commanding 3:0 win at Gil Vicente on Friday.

At home, Bruno Lage´s side have been particularly dominant. The Eagles won 23 of their last 24 Primeira Liga games at Estádio da Luz, scoring three or more goals in 19 of those victories. They’ve also won each of their last four matches against Farense. All four games saw at least three goals scored.

Farense arrives in Lisbon in dismal awful form with relegation looking increasingly likely. Winless in their last 11 league outings and sitting 17th, six points from safety, the visitors have yet to win in 2025. 

On the road, Farense failed to win all but one of 13 away Primeira Liga games, and another fruitless trip seems likely for the Leões de Faro.

All things considered, it's hard to see past Benfica securing another simple win on Tuesday. I'm backing Lage´s side to win, with at least three home goals expected.
