Benfica II are welcoming Vilafranquense for another important game after their 0-1 result against 6th-placed Estoril.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Vilafranquense's home stadium. The visitors last 32 games on grass have ended in 11 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses.

Overall Segunda Liga stats at home this season for Benfica II are 4-3-1 (wins-draw-losses).
Benfica II lost their last game at Estoril (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Porto II.

Vilafranquense form and stats
Vilafranquense have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Segunda Liga, after 1-3-5 (9 played). Vilafranquense have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.
There were no winners in Vilafranquense's previous match, a Segunda Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Feirense (placed 11th). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Penafiel.
The draw against Feirense came from a losing position. The Vilafranquense manager F. Oliveira Moreira brought on Dénis Martins as a substitution and the player scored to make the scores level.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Vilafranquense playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, one draw and two home wins.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vilafranquense as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. 13 goals have been conceded by Vilafranquense in these games.
