Benfica are heading into this match after a mixed run of results, with a win and two draws in their last five games. They have looked a bit shaky, especially after a heavy loss away from home, and their recent matches have often featured three or more goals. Academico Viseu, on the other hand, are struggling to score at the moment, with three goalless draws in their last five matches and only one win in that period. They have been very tight at the back but find it hard to create chances.

Given that Benfica are the stronger side and are playing at home, they should have enough quality to break down a stubborn Academico Viseu defence. The visitors are in poor attacking form and will likely sit deep, but Benfica's recent record shows they can be opened up themselves. This match looks like it will be a close contest, but Benfica should just edge it with a narrow win.
