We said: Benfica 2-0 Portimonense

Both teams will be keen to put aside their disappointing results last week and begin 2023 in positive fashion with a victory on Friday. Portimonense are sure to use last season's triumph at the Estadio da Luz as motivation for this contest, but we believe that Benfica will have too much quality for the visitors and should do enough to secure a routine win.
