Benfica Portimonense betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Whatever the competition, Benfica is clearly superior to Portimonense. The incarnated team comes for this match after a huge victory against Tondela, and this triumph has raised the morale to fans and players. In addition, Benfica is forced to win to still dream about the passage to the next stage of the League Cup. In this way, we don’t expect more than a comfortable triumph of Benfica.

Preview
Benfica and Portimonense meet at Estádio do Sport Lisboa and Benfica (da Luz), in a match for this stage of the Taça da Liga (Group Stage). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 08‑09‑2017, and ended in a (2‑1) win by Benfica. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Benfica

The home team comes to this 2nd round of Group A after a draw in their debut in this group stage, against Sporting Braga, by (1‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away win against Tondela by (1‑5). Benfica has won 6, tied 1 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 13 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 14 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 6 of their 11 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

The win against Tondela may have packed Benfica for the next official matches. The season has been somewhat irregular for the incarnated team, who have said goodbye to the Champions League and the Portuguese Cup. In the last ten played matches, Benfica has three defeats.
 
Benfica didn’t start in the best way the League Cup group stage, as they added a 1-1 draw against Braga. In this way, a triumph in this match is crucial to the team’s pretensions in the competition. We remember that Benfica have already beaten Portimonense this season.
 
For this match, the coach Rui Vitória doesn’t have great absences of weight, only Luisão due to a physical problem. In this way, the coach must play in 4-3-3, benefiting from ball possession and slowed attacks. Jonas is a strong contender for the best scorers this season as he already has 20 scored goals in 25 matches.

Confirmed Lineup: Mile Svilar, André Almeida, Álex Grimaldo, Lisandro López, Rúben Dias, Pizzi, Eduardo Salvio, Andreas Samaris, Filip Krovinović, Andrija Živković, Jonas.
Coach: R. Schmidt.

Analysis Portimonense

The away team comes to this 2nd round of Group A after a loss in their debut in this group stage, against Vitória Setúbal, by (1‑2). 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 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 28 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got an away loss against Sporting CP by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Portimonense has won 1, tied 3 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 9 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

After a huge rise of division, Portimonense is going through some difficulties and currently has three consecutive matches without proving the taste of victory. In addition to these problems in the league, the Algarve team entered the worst form in the League Cup and added a defeat against Vitória de Setúbal.
 
The League Cup doesn’t seem to be a priority for Portimonense at this time, as the big goal is to score a place in the league and finish comfortably in the middle of the league table. In addition, Portimonense fell into a theoretically more complicated group as will face Benfica and Braga.
 
Without great solutions in his squad, the coach Vítor Oliveira should maintain the base of the team, aligned in 4-3-3, being Fabrício the most offensive reference. The Japanese Nakajima is the great highlight of this team with 6 goals in 14 matches played. Ricardo Pessoa, Marcel and Ewerton continue to recover from injury and are absent from this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Leonardo, Inácio, Jadson, Felipe Macedo, Wilson Manafá, Oriol Rosell, Paulinho, Pedro Sá, Bruno Tabata, Pires, Wellington Carvalho.
Coach: P. Bento Brito.
