In their first home game of the 2022-23 Primeira Liga campaign, Casa Pia welcome Benfica to the Estadio Dr. Magalhaes Pessoa on Saturday.
As Aguias head into the weekend fresh off the back of progressing to the fourth round of the Champions League qualifiers and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
We say: Casa Pia 0-2 Benfica
While Casa Pia will be seeking their first win of the season, standing in their way is a rampant Benfica side who have won each of their last nine games across all competitions. Considering the gulf in quality and experience between the sides, we are backing the visitors to come away with a comfortable victory.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Sporting Lisbon's first home game of the 2022-23 Primeira Liga campaign sees them go head to head with newly-promoted Rio Ave at the Estadio Jose Alvalade on Saturday.
Ruben Amorim's side are currently on a run of six wins from their last seven home games in the league and will be looking to maintain this fine run of results.
We say: Sporting Lisbon 3-0 Rio Ave
Sporting Lisbon have enjoyed the better of this fixture, picking up 11 wins from their last 20 meetings, including a 2-0 victory in their most recent encounter. Amorim's side put on a fine attacking display last time out and we predict a repeat of the same this weekend, with the visiting side being on the receiving end of a heavy defeat.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
