Amarante have not won any of their 3 matches this season (1 draw, 2 losses), but their defense has conceded only 3 goals, an average of 1 goal per match. Meanwhile, Benfica II have won 2 of their first 3 matches, but most of their wins were narrow (1-0, 2-1). This match is therefore likely to be tight and end with a low score, with Amarante having chances to score from counter-attacks, especially in the late stages where they have scored the most (28% of all goals in the 76-90 minute period). Benfica II, on the other hand, tend to lose focus late in the first half (23% of goals conceded in the 31-45 minute period). The expected picture is Amarante sitting deep and waiting to counter, and the decisive minutes are likely to be the 76-90 minute period when the home side push hard against a tiring defense.
