Benfica Belenenses betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the Taça de Portugal (Quarter‑finals) after having eliminated: Estrela, Vilafranquense and Paredes. 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 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a home draw against Nacional by (1‑1). Benfica has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1 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, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 53 of the last 60 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 42 out of 60 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, but have been able to turn the score around in 3.

Benfica comes for this match after a equality, to a ball, in the reception to the National, in a match counting for the Portuguese championship: the only goal of the team was signed by Chiquinho. In the last round of the Portuguese Cup, the home team beat Estrela Amadora by 0-4. In this match against Belenenenses, it’s expectable the coach Jorge Jesus will favor the maintenance of ball possession and the paused attacks, especially through the flanks. Pizzi is one of the highlights of this Benfica, this being the best scorer with 11 goals scored. For this match, the home team won’t count on Álex Grimaldo, Helton Leite, Odysseas Vlachodimos, Gilberto, Jan Vertonghen, Nuno Tavares, Nicolás Otamendi, Diogo Gonçalves and Everton, all quarantined.
