Benfica Atlético Madrid betting prediction

The home team comes to this 2^nd round after a win in their debut in this group stage, against Crvena Zvezda, by (1‑2). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Gil Vicente by (5‑1). Benfica has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 30 of the last 34 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 24 out of 34 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, but have been able to turn the score around in 3.

Benfica comes into this match motivated after a home victory of 5-1 against Gil Vicente in the Portuguese league, with goals scored by Benjamín Rollheiser, Zeki Amdouni, Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Nicolás Otamendi, and Florentino. It’s worth noting that the club also won against Red Star Belgrade, 2-1, in their Champions League opener. The home side is expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with the three attacking players likely to be Ángel Di María, Vangelis Pavlidis, and Kerem Aktürkoğlu. While they enjoy playing in their offensive half, they are also capable of transitioning quickly to counter-attacks. Manager Bruno Lage will be without Renato Sanches and Tiago Gouveia, both due to injury issues.

Confirmed Lineup: Anatolii Trubin, Nicolás Otamendi, Tomás Araújo, Alexander Bah, Álvaro Fernández, Florentino Luís, Orkun Kökçü, Fredrik Aursnes, Muhammed Aktürkoğlu, Ángel Di María, Vangelis Pavlidis.
Coach: R. Schmidt.
