Total Goals (O/U 3.5)

Under 3.5

While Benfica is strong offensively, Famalicao's home defense is decent (0.7 goals conceded). Benfica's defensive solidity also makes a high-scoring game less likely. A 0-2 or 1-2 score would fall under this market.

First Team to Score

Away

Benfica possesses superior attacking quality and is expected to dominate the game. They are more likely to break the deadlock and score the first goal.

Goal in Both Halves

No

While Benfica is capable of scoring in both halves, Famalicao's defensive setup at home and Benfica's strong defense might lead to a more controlled game with goals concentrated in one half or a single goal in each half, but not necessarily a goal from both teams in both halves.

Based on Benfica's strong away defense (0.6 goals conceded) and their ability to score multiple goals (1.9 goals scored away), a 0-2 victory for Benfica is a highly plausible exact score.

BTTS 1st Half

No

Benfica's defense is very strong, and it's unlikely Famalicao will score in the first half, especially against a top team. Benfica might score, but both teams scoring in the first 45 minutes is improbable.

xG Based (O/U 2.5)

Under 2.5 xG
