LEICESTER V LIVERPOOL
All eyes will be on King Power Stadium when Leicester City and Liverpool take on each other in the last game of the year. The Foxes suffered a 6-3 loss to Man City on Boxing Day, but their display in the second half was anything but poor. Top scorer Jamie Vardy should be recalled to the starting XI, while Justin, Fofana, Daka, Soyuncu, and Pereira continue to miss out with injuries. Johnny Evans is a major doubt, and he faces race against clock to be fit for Tuesday’s clash.
The Reds, on the other hand, were not in action on Boxing Day as their encounter with Leeds United was postponed. Liverpool aim to stay in the title race, and seeing that Leicester experienced all sorts of problems at the back in their last league match, away win should be considered. The good news for the visitors is that all Virgil van Dijk, Curtis Jones, and Fabinho have recovered from coronavirus. Andy Robertson is banned for the match.
Prediction: Both teams to score
FAIRENSE V BENFICA B
Feirense, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-1 LigaPro triumph against Trofense.
Feirense have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, finding the back of the net in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.
They’ve claimed a sum of 9 during that period while also conceding a total of 6.
In their previous fixture, Benfica B drew 0-0 in the LigaPro tie with Vilafranquense.
Benfica B have converted 12 times in the course of their previous six matches. The overall goals that have been scored against them during those matches equals 7.
Ahead of this clash, Benfica B are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches away from home.
Prediction: Both teams to score
ACADEMICA V TROFENSE
Académica will play in this fixture after a 2-2 LigaPro stalemate versus Mafra.
João Serra Ferreira Pereira's Académica have scored a sum total of 7 times in their prior six outings. At the other end, the number of goals that have been scored against them in that same time amounts to 8.
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Feirense in LigaPro competition, Trofense will be aiming to make amends here.
The stats don’t lie, and Trofense have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 6 goals in all. In defence, Trofense can certainly do much better.
Ahead of this clash, Trofense are unbeaten in their previous 2 away league matches.
Prediction: Both teams to score
