Benfica Marítimo betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is that Marítimo won’t score. The home team should present a defensive strategy, to postpone a goal by Benfica as much as possible. Moreover, two key players are unavailable for this match, so they won’t be as strong as usual.

The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 34 points won, after 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Rio Ave, by (3‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Vitória Guimarães, by (0‑1). In the last 8 home league matches Benfica has a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, so they have won 21 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 8 matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Benfica comes to this match motivated by a 0-1 away win over Guimarães. Luisão, Salvio, Sílvio and Nélson Semedo are the main absences in the home team, since they are still recovering from injuries. Coach Ru iVitória should have Andreas Samaris return to the starting 11, after his suspension period. Therefore, Benfica should play with Gaitán, Pizzi, Samaris and Renato Sanches in the midfield. Benfica has been irregular this season, alternating good exhibitions with less convincing ones.

Confirmed Lineup: Júlio César, Eliseu, Lisandro López, André Almeida, Jardel, Ljubomir Fejsa, Renato Sanches, Mehdi Carcela-González, Pizzi, Jonas, Raúl Jiménez.
Coach: R. Schmidt.

The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Arouca, by (4‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Estoril, by (1‑1). In the last 8 away league matches Marítimo has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 24 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Marítimo comes to this match after a 1-1 home draw against Estoril. Giant Dyego Sousa, strong in areal play, is the main offensive reference of the team. Against a stronger opponent, we expect Marítimo to present a defensive strategy and try to explore counterattacks. Rúben Ferreira and Fransérgio are suspended, after having accumulated 5 yellow cards.
