Vizela have a very bad season. They are the last in the best Portuguese league with five points fewer than safety. There are more than 14 rounds to be played, but obviously, dark clouds covered Vizela. The club from Braga district lost the last four matches in a row. In the previous game, they lost 1-0 at home against Vitoria Guimaraes. The home side had xG of only 0.41, while guests had 1.83, so it is no wonder that Vizela suffered another defeat.
Benfica, as always, are in contention for all titles in Portugal. In the league, they are at the top of the competition with two points more than Sporting CP and six more than Porto. Benfica won ten of the last 11 matches and will try to continue brilliant form on Thursday against Vizela. In the previous game, they won 3-0 at home against Gil Vicente. Last weekend, Benfica won 3-0 at home against Gil Vicente.
Vizela vs Benfica pick: Benfica to win and cover AH -1.5 spread
Vizela allowed 15 goals in the last four matches and it is hard to expect Vizela to have much success against Benfica. On the other hand, Benfica are scoring at will, so Benfica to win and cover AH -1.5 spread should be the best bet for this tie.

Benfica team news
Benfica are well-known as a talent factory. This January, they signed a few interesting youngsters. The most valuable transfer is the signing of Marcos Leonardo from Santos for 18 million euros. That move is looking fantastic right now as the striker scored three goals for the new team in the first 74 minutes. Besides Marcos Leonardo, Benfica also signed Gianluca Prestianni (who came from Velez Sarsfield), Benjamin Rollheiser (loan from Estudiantes La Plata), and Alvaro Carreras (loan from Manchester United).
