Benfica Penafiel betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be for Benfica to be winning at half-time. In addition to the home club wanting to settle the match right at the beginning, they can still take advantage of the bad moment that Penafiel is going through away from home. Thus, it's expectable that Benfica will end up getting the advantage in the first half.

In the last 10 home matches Benfica has won 9 and tied 1. 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 all of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 61 of the last 68 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times, but have turned the score around in 2. there are 2 periods that stand out in the last 14 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (16'‑30') and 5 of their 13 goals between (76'‑90').

Benfica comes for this match motivated after an away triumph, by 2-3, in the trip to Estrela da Amadora, counting for the Portuguese League Cup: Musa, Chiquinho and Draxler scored the goals of this beautiful triumph. The home team usually plays in a 4-3-3, where the three players whose mission is to launch panic in the opposing defense are David Neres, Petar Musa and Diogo Gonçalves. The midfield should be occupied by Chiquinho, Rafa Silva and Florentino. The home team coach will not be able to count on defensive midfielder Fredrik Aursnes as he is, at this stage, recovering from a muscle injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, Morato, João Victor, Álex Grimaldo, Gilberto, Julian Draxler, Florentino Luís, Chiquinho, Rafa Silva, David Neres, Petar Musa.
Coach: R. Schmidt.

Analysis Penafiel

The away team comes to this 2nd round of Group C after a loss in their debut in this group stage, against Moreirense, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Penafiel has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 9 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 6 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Penafiel comes for this match unmotivated after a 1-2 home defeat against Moreirense, valid for the Portuguese League Cup. It should be noted that the visiting club is going through a difficult time, since they have three defeats in the last five matches played. One of the characteristics of this team is the difficulty they have in converting the dangerous situations they manage to create into goals. Playing away from home, Penafiel is expected to show some difficulties, as they visit an “enemy” with much more quality. The away team should play in a 4-3-3, so the three most advanced players should be Edi Semedo, Roberto and Adriano Castanheira. Coach Filó should be very pleased to have all the men fit for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Caio Secco, Simão, Leandro Teixeira, João Miguel, João Oliveira, Filipe Cardoso, Adriano Castanheira, Feliz Vaz, Marcus Molvadgaard, Edi Semedo, Robinho.
Coach: F. Paula da Rocha.
