After suffering heartbreak in the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona, a side that eliminated them in the round of 16, Benfica has picked themselves up with morale-boosting wins in the Primeira Liga.
Firstly, they beat Rio Ave 3-2 on the road before the international break and returned with a commanding 3-0 win over Gil Vicente on Friday. The Eagles, though, have been impressive in the Primeira Liga. They come into this match riding a seven-match winning streak.
The Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica has been their stronghold this season. Bruno Lage's men have won four consecutive matches. Their last defeat at this venue came against Braga when they lost 2-1 on January 4. During this winning streak, they have registered three shutouts and scored 13 goals.

Farense are in the midst of a relegation dogfight in the Primeira Liga. The visitors are in 17th place in the league standings and are six points behind safety.
Leões de Faro's most recent match in the league saw them lose 1-0 at home against Braga. It appeared as if they were heading for a share of the spoils in that match when they conceded a Gabri Martinez effort in the 70th minute.
Due to that result, Tozé Marreco's men have now gone 11 league games without a win in the Primeira Liga. During this period, they lost six games and the remaining five ended in stalemates.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 3-4-3
Velho; Moreno, Jorge, Ribiero; Poloni, Z.C, Falcao, Pastor; Lopes, Tomane, Balde

Expert Betting Tips
Total 1 - Over 2.5 @ 1.8 with 1xbet.
Benfica has been in terrific form in the Primeira Liga and I don't see them dropping points in this one. Their opponents have struggled for consistency and are winless in five away league games. Considering that the home side has been firing on all cylinders, scoring exactly three goals in each of their last four league games, I believe we can see them exceeding 2.5 goals here.
Farense Total - Under 0.5 @ 1.61 with Bet365.
Farense has been struggling to score goals lately. They have failed to score in four of their last six league games and I see them struggling in the final third here. Let's not also forget that Benfica has kept the door shut in four of their last five league games.
Goals - Over 3.5 @ 2.16 with Betway.
I expect this to be a high-scoring affair, with Benfica contributing to the score. It has to be pointed out that this has been the case in two of the last three meetings between these teams.
