- Famalicão have the fewest points (3) at home in Primeira Liga
- Benfica have the most scored goals (35) in Primeira Liga
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Champions League.
Famalicão form and stats
Famalicão's struggle is real here at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho with only 3 points collected from 6 Primeira Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-3.
Pepe was the last player to score a league goal for Famalicão and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Famalicão haven't scored in 198 minutes.
Famalicão are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Gil Vicente. As you see from the result above, Famalicão suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Defender Alex Nascimento got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.21/10. Nascimento won 6 of 9 duels.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Portimonense (0-3).The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Famalicão here at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Famalicão defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When Famalicão hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Pacos de Ferreira, Vizela, Santa Clara, Belenenses and Moreirense), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Benfica form and stats
Benfica have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 19 points collected from 7 Primeira Liga games. 6 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats is the record so far. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Moreirense game have they lost an away game, meaning Benfica has taken points from seven away matches in a row.
Benfica go into this game after a win, the home game against Dynamo Kyiv that ended 2-0. Gilberto got a match rating of 7.85 in that game, top player of the team. Gilberto scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
The game before that, in the Primeira Liga, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Sporting CP.A new game in only three days for Benfica, the League Cup home match versus Sporting Covilha. Busy days.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Benfica alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (21 from 7 played). Benfica's manager Pinheiro de Jesus has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 3 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
