Benfica
Benfica did not meet their main objective last season and did not participate in the championship race. Sporting quickly pulled ahead and built such a significant lead that the intrigue in the title race was effectively ended by the middle of the second half. In their last friendly match, Roger Schmidt’s team decisively defeated Feyenoord 5-0.

Fulham
Fulham did not set more ambitious goals last season than staying in the Premier League—and they managed to achieve this comfortably. Marco Silva’s team faced several crises during the season but ultimately navigated through them, finishing in 13th place in the table.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Benfica looks very strong in their friendly matches and plays vibrant attacking football, scoring a lot and regularly—Feyenoord conceded five goals a few days ago. It is clear that Fulham will not keep a clean sheet, but the Cottagers also have quality players up front and are likely to score as well.
We believe the match will be high-scoring. Prediction: Total over three goals. This outcome is offered at a coefficient of 1.95.
Benfica began their preparations for the new season in early July, while this is Fulham's first friendly match after the break. Clearly, the Eagles are physically better prepared and have a significant advantage in terms of player quality, so it makes sense to favor the Portuguese team.
Bet: Benfica to win. This outcome is offered at 1.65.
Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.95.
