13th April 2022 – 21:00, Anfield, Liverpool
Liverpool will host Benfica in the Champions League quarter-finals second-leg match. The home side wants to remain confident and book the ticket for the next round. On the other hand, a very tough task is ahead of the visitors if they’re going to stay in the competition.
Liverpool Preview & Team News
Liverpool heads into this game following a 2:2 Premier League draw match vs Manchester City. The Reds remained one point behind the Citizens, and they will continue an exciting race for the Premier League title. Their most recent results highlight the fact that much respect should be given to the Liverpool backline. Liverpool has been mean at the back, with the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their previous six outings standing at 3. They are 3:1 up in this tie, and the hosts are very close to the semi-finals. The Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp will be happy not to have any fitness worries to speak of before this clash, owing to a completely healthy squad available to choose from.
Benfica Preview & Team News
Benfica will come into the game following on from a 3:1 Primeira Liga win with the downing of Belenenses in their previous match. However, they are far from the Primeira Liga title battle. Looking at their form, Benfica has been scored against in 5 of their last six games, conceding nine goals in total. In defense, Benfica could really do with shoring things up. The eagles need a superb performance at Anfield to bring some excitement into this tie since they are 3:1 down. On the other hand, they can play without any pressure, as they are not considered favorites in this matchup.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Liverpool continues its unbeatable run after a trip to Manchester, while Benfica hasn’t been too consistent lately. The Reds shouldn’t have trouble recording another win, and we believe they will celebrate by at least two goals.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have participated in many high-scoring matches recently, and this one shouldn’t be much different. Liverpool’s last two games went over a 3.5 margin, as well as Benfica’s previous three. Therefore, we can expect at least three goals in total.
