25th October 2022 – 21:00, Estadio da Luz, Lisbon
Benfica and Juventus will meet in the 5th of the Champions League group stage. The home side seeks a place in the knockout stage, while the visitors want to secure a positive result in this outing.
Benfica Preview & Team News
Benfica will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-0 Primeira Liga victory against Porto. That victory established them in the top spot of the Portuguese top flight, being six points ahead of their rivals. Things are going well for the Eagles in the Champions League as well, as Benfica is five points ahead of Juventus. Their latest results reveal that not much more can be done by the Benfica backline. Benfica has given the opposition little, seeing the number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past six outings standing at 4. If the hosts don’t lose this game, they will secure the top-two finish in the group stage.
Juventus Preview & Team News
Juventus go into this game after a 4-0 Serie A win over Empoli in their last match. The trend of at least one team drawing a blank in games involving Juventus has become fairly consistent recently. Checking on their last six games shows that it has occurred five times. In these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal aggregate of 5 while Juventus have scored 11. However, the Bianconeri haven’t been very successful in the Champions League, as they have picked up only three points. Only two wins in the remaining two rounds, and with a lot of luck, will keep them in the competitions. Bremer (Biceps muscle injury), Mattia De Sciglio (Hamstring Injury), Federico Chiesa (Fitness), Paul Pogba (Knee Surgery), Ángel Di María (Biceps muscle injury), and Leandro Paredes (Biceps muscle injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Benfica has been in excellent form this season, and they are full of confidence after beating Porto. Therefore, we wouldn’t be surprised if the hosts book another victory on Tuesday evening.
Goals Market Prediction
Their head-to-head clashes in Lisbon have been pretty entertaining, going over a 2.5 margin and with both teams being able to score. Therefore, we expect at least three goals in total once again.
