Our Prediction

Over 8.5 Corners

Nacional sit 10th in the table after 10 games, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 0.9 conceded per home match this season. Benfica are 3rd after 10 games, averaging 1.5 scored and 1.2 conceded on the road. Nacional have won 4/10 home games (40%) this season; Benfica have won 5/10 on the road (50%). There's no dominant edge either way.

Benfica have featured in high-scoring away games this season — Over 2.5 Goals in 70% of their away fixtures (7/10). Nacional are lower at home (40%, 4/10), averaging 1.4 scored and 0.9 conceded.

Benfica regularly see both teams score in away fixtures (80%, 8/10). Nacional are lower at home (30%, 3/10) — they've conceded in 50% of home games, which keeps BTTS in play.

High corner counts are a feature of both teams' games this season — Nacional have seen 10+ corners in 70% of home fixtures (7/10), Benfica in 80% away (8/10). Over 9.5 Corners looks well supported.

Our Prediction: Over 8.5 Corners — Nacional see 9+ corners in 90% of home games, Benfica in 80% of away games. Plenty of set-piece action expected.
