Benfica B vs Pacos Ferreira Prediction
Bottom-Of-The-Table Battle: Both Teams To Score?
Preview
Ag ne, this is going to be one of those matches where you need a cold beer to get through it! Two teams stuck at the wrong end of the table, both struggling to find wins but somehow managing to find the net.
Benfica B comes into this sitting 17th with just 7 points from 8 games. Their home form is shocking - 0% win rate in their last 4 home games with 2 draws and 2 losses. They're leaking goals like a sieve at home, conceding 2.00 per game. But here's the thing - 80% of their games see both teams score. They just grabbed a decent 2-0 away win against Feirense, but before that they were drawing 3-3 at home with Torreense and losing 0-2 to Penafiel.
Pacos Ferreira isn't much better off in 15th place with 8 points. They're the draw kings away from home - 80% of their away games end in draws! They only score 0.60 goals per game on the road, which is pathetic really. But they just smashed Portimonense 4-1 at home, so the goals are there sometimes. Their away record shows 0-0 draws against Torreense and 2-2 draws at Oliveirense.
The head-to-head tells a story too - Benfica B has NEVER beaten Pacos Ferreira at home. Not once! Last time they met was a 0-0 draw.
Looking at the patterns, Benfica B's games are almost always goal fests with both teams scoring, while Pacos Ferreira just loves drawing away from home. With Benfica's leaky home defense and Pacos finding their scoring touch recently, both teams getting on the scoresheet looks like the smart play here.
