- Nelson Verissimo has been at the helm of Benfica Lisbon B since July 2023 and has instilled a similar philosophy to that of their first team, a high-tempo, possession-based approach where they will try and play wide, press high up the field and win the ball back as quickly as possible.
Forwards
- However, with Leiria’s superior league position, recent form, home advantage, and a man who knows how to get a goal when needed in Juan Munoz up top (4 goals in 11 Liga Segunda appearances), the hosts should be able to snatch the win against a Benfica B side who just can’t seem to get any momentum - this is among the main factors highlighted in our Uniao de Leiria vs Benfica Lisbon B betting tips.
- Benfica Lisbon B can be dangerous going forward and will do their utmost to push the pace of this game and keep it exciting, but with Daniel Borges hitting a rich vein of goalscoring form with 3 goals in his last 5 Leiria appearances, the home side should be backed at 2.03.
