Benfica will take on Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday evening. The hosts will try to secure a positive result in their backyard, while the away side wants to continue its winning streak.
Benfica Preview & Team News
Benfica will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 3:2 Primeira Liga defeat last time out to Braga. That defeat held them to 3rd spot in the domestic championship, and the eagles are far from the title battle. Benfica hasn’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net every time they’ve gone out to play in their last six games. They have hit an aggregate of 11 during that period while also conceding a total of 6. Darwin Nunez and the lads were very successful in the previous round, eliminating Ajax 2:1 on aggregate.
Liverpool Preview & Team News
Liverpool comes into this encounter following a 2:0 Premier League win with the downing of Watford in their previous game. It was their fourth straight victory in all competitions, and they are still in the game for the Premier League title. A sequence of steadfast performances by the Liverpool defensive unit has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 1 from their past six fixtures overall. During the same period, their own attack force has managed to score 8. The Reds want to go far in this competition and will search for a win here. From a largely healthy squad, there is only a single fitness worry for the Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp to contend with. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Hamstring Injury) won’t be in action.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Benfica has had a pretty good campaign in the Champions League so far, but they face one of the favorites for the continental title. Liverpool is in a much better momentum, and we believe they will secure the advantage at halftime.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have participated in many high-scoring matches this season, and this one shouldn’t be much different. Although Liverpool kept the clean sheet four times in a row, we think this game will go over a 2.5 margin.
