BetGenius backs Alcochetense or Draw (Double Chance) at 78% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Alcochetense come into the Round of 128 having won their only cup match 8‑0 at home, a dominant display that also gave them a clean sheet and an average of eight goals per game in the competition. CF Benfica likewise have a 1‑0 record in the cup, beating Viana Alentejo 3‑0 at home and keeping a clean sheet, averaging three goals per match. Both sides have shown strong attacking intent and defensive solidity in their solitary cup outings, but Alcochetense enjoy home advantage and a far larger scoring record.
Alcochetense's recent five‑game run includes two wins, two draws and a loss, with the 8‑0 victory being the standout. Benfica's limited cup history is supplemented by a modest three‑goal win at home, and their overall recent form shows a win in their last three matches.
No injuries or suspensions have been reported for either side, so both can field their strongest XI. With both teams yet to concede in the cup, the match could feature goals from both sides, though Alcochetense’s firepower suggests they may dominate possession and chances.
