Benfica vs Tirsense Betting Tips - Benfica to Win/Over 3.5 Match Goals

Already with one foot in the TDP final after a 5:0 first leg victory a fortnight ago, Benfica will look to finish the job when they take on lower-league visitors Tirsense this week. 

Bruno Lage’s men have been in great form this season, particularly in recent weeks, winning six of their last seven games, while continuing to post high numbers in the goal markets. Benfica scored three goals or more in each of those six victories

A superb home record has seen Lage´s men win 29 and lose just two of 34 domestic matches played since the start of 2024 and they should extend that winning seqence against their lower-league visitors this week. 

Tirsense make the trip to Lisbon looking to maintain pride after their painful 5:0 first-leg defeat against Benfic a fortnight ago. Emanuel Simões’s side have been involved in several entertaining outcomes in recent weeks, with over 3.5 goals landing in each of their last five matches, including a 4:3 win against Sandinenses in their most recent outing. 

With Benfica in cruise control, another straightforward victory has to be expected on Wednesday. Indeed, Given the gap between these sides, it's hard to see past Benfica securing another simple win on Wednesday, so I'm backing Lage’s side to emerge as comfortable winners. 

A home win with over 3.5 goals scored is my best bet at Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica (da Luz) (Lisboa).

Benfica team news

Head coach Lage is likely to rotate his selection with the hosts all but assured of their place in the TDP final. Tiago Gouveia and Arthur Cabral are among those tipped to earn a recall to the first XI.
