Five of Benfica’s last six victories within 90 minutes eclipsed a -1 handicap.
Pacos Ferreira failed to score in three of their last four games.
Pacos Ferreira lost by a margin of at least two goals in six of the last seven H2Hs.
Brilliant Benfica to ease past a poor Pacos Ferreira in the cup

Benfica went into the international break on the back of a resounding 6-1 victory over the very side who beaten them in the Cup final last season, Braga. That victory ended a three-game winless run in which they had found the net six times, so even while conceding, Benfica’s scoring prowess is never in question. Moreover, the hosts won five of their last six Portuguese Cup clashes by at least a two goal margin, bar their defeat in the final last season.

On the other hand, four of Ferreira’s last five Taca de Portugal clashes were settled with a 2+ goal margin and I am predicting exactly that to happen yet again here. Given the potency of the hosts, the fact that Ferreira failed to score in three of their last four games is definitely a worry as far as the visitors are concerned.

All things considered, this game is considered a must win for record 26-time Portuguese Cup winners Benfica and anything other than a resounding success would be a shock here. Consequently, I am predicting a comfortable 3-0 home victory.

本菲卡最近的六场胜利中，有五场在90分钟内战胜了-1的不利条件。
帕科斯·费雷拉在最近四场比赛中有三场没有进球。
帕科斯·费雷拉在过去7场h2h比赛中有6场至少输了2球。
本菲卡在杯赛上轻松超越了可怜的费雷拉

本菲卡以6-1大胜上赛季世界杯决赛中击败过他们的布拉加队，进入了国际比赛。这场胜利结束了他们在三场比赛中六次进球的颓势，所以即使在输球的情况下，本菲卡的得分能力也是毋庸置疑的。此外，除了上赛季在葡萄牙杯决赛中失利外，东道主在最近六场葡萄牙杯比赛中有五场至少以两球的优势获胜。

另一方面，费雷拉最近五次与葡萄牙的交锋中有四次都是以2+的比分结束的，我预测这种情况还会再次发生。考虑到主队的实力，对于客队来说，费雷拉在过去四场比赛中有三场没有进球绝对是一个令人担忧的问题。

考虑到所有的因素，这场比赛被认为是26次获得葡萄牙杯冠军的本菲卡必须赢的一场比赛，除了一场巨大的成功，其他任何事情都会在这里令人震惊。因此，我预测主场会轻松地以3-0取胜。
