Benfica betting trends at a glance Above average

Over 206 matches on file, Benfica's most frequent betting market is To Score, which has landed 89.8% of the time. To Win or Draw (Double Chance) (85.4%) and Team Over 3.5 Corners (85.1%) follow, with Team Over 3.5 Shots on Target and Over 1.5 Goals in the Match completing the top 5.

The standout against the average side in the same division is Team Over 3.5 Shots on Target: 83% for Benfica against 59.1% league wide, 24 percentage points higher. A few of them are about goals, which points to matches that tend to be open and high scoring.

Overall, all 5 of Benfica's top markets land more often than they do for the typical club in the same division, by more than chance would explain, so they look like real tendencies for Benfica.

These are past frequencies, not predictions. A market that lands often is usually already priced short by bookmakers, so a high strike rate does not make it a profitable bet. Use the figures to see what is normal for Benfica, then compare them with the odds on offer.

Gambling can be addictive. 18+ only. Responsible gambling.
