We said: Benfica 3-1 Moreirense

Benfica have conceded in four of their last five Liga fixtures and six of nine in all competitions in 2025, pointing to Moreirense finding the back of the net on Saturday. However, Lage's side should ultimately overpower the out-of-sorts visitors to inflict the away side's fifth league loss in six on their travels. Read more.
