Benfica Attack Faces Open Alverca Defense
Benfica sit second in the table after five straight league wins and continue to score at a high rate. Alverca have collected points with three wins in their last five but have lost their last two. In the two previous head to head games both matches went over 2.5 goals. Benfica have seen three or more total goals in eight of their nine league games so far this season. Their home scoring average stands at 2.3 goals per game while they concede just one on average. Alverca score two goals a game away from home yet concede 1.8 in those fixtures. The combination of Benfica’s attacking output and Alverca’s leaky defense away points toward a match with multiple goals likely.
