Benfica Vitória Setúbal betting prediction

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 3 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Estoril (2‑0) Vitória Setúbal, Real Betis (0‑1) Vitória Setúbal and Academico Viseu (0‑0) Vitória Setúbal. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 11 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got a home tie against Paços de Ferreira by (0‑0). In the last 10 away matches Vitória Setúbal has tied 2 and lost 8.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 3 matches but have never been able to hold on to the lead until the end of the 90'. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Vitoria de Setubal had their previous match 2 months ago, in the final round of their national league, where they had a 0-0 against Paços de Ferreira. They performed badly last season, as they were close to being relegated. They should try a new formation in this match and use less usual players.
