We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
12-10-26 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Cova Piedade when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 48 matches are 44-73 (scored/conceded).
Benfica II form and stats
7 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Benfica II, who have the most scored goals (42) in Segunda Liga, have to build on here at Caixa Futebol Campus in the Segunda Liga. Ever since the Academica game Benfica has been unbeatable here at Caixa Futebol Campus producing four straight wins.
Benfica's previous game was a Segunda Liga match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Leixoes (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Benfica lost 1-2 at Academico Viseu's place.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Benfica matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and one defeat (from five games).
A decent goal production from Benfica in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 12 league matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
Cova Piedade form and stats
There's been little loot from Cova Piedade's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the Segunda Liga. Cova Piedade only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws.
Piedade failed to get anything from their last game, a Segunda Liga home match vs Estoril (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 2-3. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Leixoes that ended 1-1.
A huge disappointment for Piedade in their last match (vs Estoril). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Late heartbreak for Piedade in the Estoril match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Piedade when being an outsider away as they are today, we find nine matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing two and winning four games.
The visiting Piedade have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 12 games. Piedade have conceded 18 goals in these games.
