Inter will host Benfica in the Champions League quarter-finals second-leg clash. The hosts have a significant advantage from their first encounter, which the away side will try to catch.
Inter Preview & Team News
Inter will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 1-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Monza. Nerazzurri have been in terrible form in the Italian top flight, and the top-four finish is questionable. It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Inter has shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Inter has been scored against in 5 of their previous six clashes, letting in 5 goals in the process. Nevertheless, a 2-0 advantage from Lisbon is a great achievement, and Inter will try to keep their aggregate lead intact. Dalbert (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Stefan de Vrij (Unknown Injury), Alessandro Fontanarosa (Unknown Injury), and Milan Skriniar (Back trouble) won’t be able to feature for Inter boss Simone Inzaghi.
Benfica Preview & Team News
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Chaves in the Primeira Liga competition, Benfica and their traveling fans will hope for a better result here. After the second straight defeat in the Portuguese top flight, the Eagles have only four points more than Porto. During their six latest matches, Roger Schmidt’s Benfica has found the net a total of 10 times – earning them goals scored per game average of 1.67. The visitors need to return to the winning track in Milano if they want to keep their semi-final hope alive. Benfica manager Roger Schmidt has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Alexander Bah (Knee Injury), Mihailo Ristić (Hamstring Injury), and Julian Draxler (Ankle Surgery) miss out here.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Neither team has been in good form lately, and it is going to be a close game. Nevertheless, we think Benfica still hasn’t said its last word in this tie, and they shouldn’t lose this game. We’ll see if it will be enough to win on aggregate.
Goals Market Prediction
The visitors don’t have time to waste, and they should attack from the first minute. Since both teams’ defenses have been quite leaky lately, we don’t believe they’ll keep a clean sheet here.
