Benfica II form and stats

Seven points from three Segunda Liga home games is a great start for Benfica II, who are hoping to build on that form here at Caixa Futebol Campus.

Benfica manager N. da Silva Veríssimo and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Farense (placed 17th) in the Segunda Liga. A disappointing finish for Benfica in their match versus Farense as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

In the match before that, Benfica II hosted Sporting Covilhã and drew the game 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Benfica have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost two.

Goals decide football matches and Benfica II are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. Benfica have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
