Benfica Lisbon B
- Benfica Lisbon B and Felgueiras 1932 could do with a victory on Saturday as the two sides currently sit level on 27 points in 11th and 12th positions in Liga Segunda 2025-2026.
- Benfica B have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 4 of their 11 home Liga Segunda games, averaging 1.27 goals scored and conceded per game.
- Benfica B are likely to play their familiar 4-3-3 formation and favour a possession-based, attacking style of play with a high defensive line, although they do lack the quality of players to execute the system to its best.
- Nelson Verissimo is trying to bring structure to the team and develop players for the senior squad since taking over in July 2023.
Felgueiras 1932
- Felgueiras 1932 have won 1, drawn 5 and lost 4 of their 11 away games in Liga Segunda, averaging 0.90 goals for and 1.60 goals against.
- Felgueiras 1932 are much more compact, pragmatic and likely to sit deep and hit on the counterattack under Agostinho Bento.
- The visitors are not the highest scorers in the league, but are quite effective when they do strike and can be dangerous from set pieces and wide delivery.
Head-to-Head
However, Felgueiras 1932 edged the last head-to-head 2-1 at home five months ago , but have failed to win on their last visit to Benfica B .
Key Players
- Lucas Duarte is Felgueiras 1932’s main goal threat, having scored seven goals in 20 league games this season, and it looks like they will have to rely on his goal-scoring prowess again on Saturday.
- Jelani Trevisan is Benfica B’s top scorer this season with five goals in 16 Liga Segunda appearances and is a reliable option to score a goal in this clash.
Betting Insights
- The hosts are the slight favorites at 2.3 with the visitors available at 2.94 for the win, although the odds for an away win do look slightly generous given the two teams are level on points.
- However, both teams tend to struggle in the goals department, so the under 2.5 goals market at 1.9 looks appealing considering the home advantage of Benfica B.
