"Since Rui Vitoria took charge at the start of term, the Eagles have won 8/12 league games by more than just the odd goal"

Back Benfica -1.5 on the Asian Handicap @ 2.1211/10 v Uniao Madeira

Tobias Gourlay expects Benfica to soar as they take a flight to Madeira this evening

Uniao Madeira v Benfica
Tuesday 21:00

Let's redact this. There won't be goals in Greece again. None at all, in fact. 0-0 in Levadiakos last night and Igor Tudor is no longer our king.

In Portugal, Benfica have won each of their last five Primeira Liga games. The combined score from those matches is 15-2 in favour of the champions, who have won each game individually by at least a couple of goals.

Since Rui Vitoria took charge at the start of term, the Eagles have won 8/12 league games by more than just the odd goal. On their travels in the last 12 months, they've beaten a -1.5-goal handicap in 11/11 victories.

Uniao Madeira's last league outing brought a 6-0 defeat at Pacos Ferreira. They've failed to score in 4/5 home games. Second-placed Porto, who are one place ahead of Benfica, recently went to Funchal and won 4-0.
