A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Farense and Benfica II should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Farense form and stats
This stadium, Estadio de Sao Luis, has been a fortress for Farense in the Segunda Liga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-0-1. Farense has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Estadio de Sao Luis. We remember; it was Porto II.
Farense's previous game was a Segunda Liga match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Feirense (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Nacional.

Benfica II form and stats
Benfica II have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Segunda Liga, after 0-3-4 (7 played). Sharing is caring, but Benfica II are perhaps overdoing it with their five draws in a row. It's three draws from Benfica II's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Benfica II are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Sporting Covilhã (placed 8th). Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs Varzim.
The attacking power of Benfica II when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Benfica II have conceded 12 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
