Famalicão Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a game between two teams with tremendously different potential. If, under normal conditions, Benfica would already be a favorite, they become even more so, because Famalicão lost practically the entire starting lineup and should have difficulties in presenting a cohesive performance in the various moments of the game in these first challenges. Jorge Jesus' team seek to react quickly to the elimination in the Champions League and should make an exhibition with sufficient quality to score the three points in the debut in the 2020/21 championship.

Preview
Famalicão and Benfica face at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, in a match for the 1st round of the Primeira Liga. In 4 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 2 and tied 2. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 09‑07‑2020, and ended in a draw by (1‑1).

Analysis Famalicão

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 6th position and got the promotion. They come to this match after a away draw against Marítimo by (3‑3). Famalicão has won 2, tied 5 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 18 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 10 of their 28 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Following a sensational campaign in the year of promotion to the first division, Famalicão should have more difficulty to remain so competitive in this 2020/21 edition of the Portuguese championship. Despite having managed to keep coach João Pedro Sousa, after an incredibly positive path in 2019/20, the famalicense team saw almost all their main players leave, cases of Fábio Martins, Pote, Diogo Gonçalves, Uros Racic, Neuhén Perez, among several others. The reason the squad suffered is seeking to be compensated by the hiring of several players, mostly young promises. With no pre-season games announced, Famalicão will debut in the new season in a highly demanding game.

Confirmed Lineup: Ivan Zlobin, Calvin Verdonk, Srđan Babić, Bruno Jordão, Riccieli, Gustavo Assunção, Ruben Lameiras, Jorge Pereira, Gonçalo Rodrigues, Toni Martínez, Carlos Valenzuela.
Coach: João Pedro Sousa.

Analysis Benfica

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 2nd last season. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got an away loss against PAOK by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Benfica has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 22 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

Benfica will start their campaign in the championship with the firm goal of winning the national champion title again, after failing that goal last season, mainly due to a terrible second part of the competition, after an almost perfect first part. Now with Jorge Jesus at the helm, the “eagles” will already have to worry, because they just lost, last Tuesday, the possibility of reaching the group stage of the Champions League. In the official debut in 2020/21, Benfica lost 2-1 when visiting PAOK, in the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA millionaire league, thus having a very bitter start to the season. This is because, in addition to the sporting importance that it would be to reach the final stage of the “Champions”, it will also be a financial failure with an impact, shortly before the next election period in the presidency of the Lisbon club.

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, Rúben Dias, Álex Grimaldo, André Almeida, Jan Vertonghen, Gabriel Pires, Rafa Silva, Adel Taarabt, Luca Waldschmidt, Darwin Nuñez, Everton.
