Benfica vs RB Leipzig
With a fairly even strength, UCL Group G becomes a very interesting group to follow. The host is aiming for victory when performing at Estadio da Luz.
Until Sunday (9/15) yesterday, Benfica still played with a score of 2-0 against Gil Vicente. With this result, they also reap 4 wins in the opening 5 matches of the Portuguese League.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig is playing a tough party against Bayern Munich. Draw 1-1 closed the game after Robert Lewandowski’s fast goal (3 ‘) was successfully chased by the hosts through an Emil Forsberg penalty (45 + 3’). Despite the draw, they remain at the top of the Bundesliga as the last contestant who hasn’t swallowed the bitter defeat (3W 1D).
Die Bullen also hopes that the record can be continued in tomorrow’s match. They are quite confident after two years ago won 2-0 over Benfica in a trial match, while tomorrow will be the first appearance at da Luz.
After all, the host is also being hit by a crisis where at least 6 players are injured, while RB Leipzig will again rely on Timo Werner who has contributed five goals in four Bundesliga matches.
A little extra, RB Leipzig has scored 7 goals and conceded only 1 time in 2 Bundesliga away matches, while Benfica scored 7 goals and conceded 2 times at home, that is when they lost to FC Porto. With a more complete squad and a more stable appearance, RB Leipzig should be able to steal points in this match.
Our Prediction: Under 1.5
Odds: 3.35
