Benfica Chaves betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The market we suggest for this match is the “over 3 goals”. In this match, it’s expectable that Benfica will dominate much of the match and enjoy more opportunities to score goals, not only for playing at home, but above all for the offensive quality of their squad. In addition, Chaves presents a very fast offensive and finalizer sector, apart from the fact of going through a very positive stage. In this way, it’s very interesting to risk on a match with several goals on the final scoreboard.

Preview
Benfica and Chaves face at Estádio do Sport Lisboa and Benfica (da Luz), in a match for the 19th round of the Primeira Liga. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 14‑08‑2017, Benfica got an away win by (0‑1). The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 3 matches they won 3. Chaves registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Benfica

The home team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 43 points won, after 13 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Moreirense, by (0‑2). In the last match, they won in an away match against Sporting Braga, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. In the last 8 home league matches Benfica has a record of 7 wins and 1 draw, so they have won 22 points out of 24 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 8 home matches for this competition. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have been able to score first and have done so in 14 of the last 18 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 13 of those 14 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 12 of them. In the last 16 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Benfica comes for this match after a victory against Braga, by 1-3, adding the second triumph in the Portuguese championship. We remember that Benfica is going through a very positive moment in the championship, as they add 12 consecutive matches without losing. Usually, the coach Rui Vitória plays in 4-3-3 privileging the ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the flanks. However, Benfica playing in 4-4-2, a system used at the start of the season, is not out of the question. Jonas must compose the attacking front of the incarnated team, being this the best scorer with 21 goals. For this match, the home team’s coach only has the central defender Luisão in doubt.

Confirmed Lineup: Bruno Varela, Douglas Pereira, Álex Grimaldo, Jardel, Rúben Dias, Ljubomir Fejsa, Pizzi, Filip Krovinović, Eduardo Salvio, Franco Cervi, Jonas.
Coach: R. Schmidt.

Analysis Chaves

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 7 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Desportivo Aves, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Vitória Guimarães, by (4‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 26 goals scored and 14 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a win by (1‑2) against Marítimo. In the last 9 away league matches Chaves has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 27 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Chaves comes for this match after a magnificent victory against Vitória de Guimarães by 4-3, adding to the excellent series of eight straight matches without proving the taste of defeat in the championship. The last defeat in the league was away, when they lost at Braga, by 1-0. In this away match, the coach Luís Castro should play in 4-3-3 with William being the forward player of the visiting team: this player is one of the best scorers on the team with 5 scored goals. Davidson and Matheus Pereira make up the team's flanks, while Renan Bressan is a creative player with great vision of the match. For this match, the coach won’t count on Elhouni, punished, neither on Thiago Galvão, Domingos Duarte and João Patrão, these due tu injury.

Confirmed Lineup: António Filipe, Paulinho, Djavan, Domingos Duarte, Nikola Maraš, Jefferson, Renan Bressan, Pedro Tiba, William, Jorginho, Davidson.
Coach: Moreno.
