Vitória Setúbal Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be open, since Vitória de Setúbal plays alongside its fans and Benfica wants to continue in the way of the victories in the championship. Still, we believe that Benfica dominates much of the match and creates the best opportunities to score, since it has a much better squad, but the fast transitions of the Vitória de Setúbal should create several problems for the away team. Given this and also taking into account the defensive gaps of the teams, risking tin favor of the goals in this game is a good option.

We emphasize that the locals have presented very interesting notes in the defense-attack transition. Apparently there are no weight absences for this game.
