Benfica vs Chaves Prediction and Betting Tips | October 29, 2022

Primeira Liga leaders Benfica will entertain ninth-placed Chaves at the Estadio da Luz on Saturday (October 29).

Benfica are the only unbeaten team in the Portuguese top flight after ten games and are on a two-game winning streak. Last weekend, they overcame reigning champions and arch-rivals Porto 1-0 away, with Rafa Silva scoring a 72nd-minute winner.

The Portuguese league leaders continued their fine form in the UEFA Champions League, beating Italian giants Juventus 4-3 at home in midweek to qualify for the knockouts. Level on points but behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain on goal difference, Benfica will need to overturn a four-goal difference and also better PSG's result on matchday six to win the group.
