Football betting Benfica – PSG
The World Cup kicks off at the end of autumn, so the European Cup schedule has to be tightened up. Already in early October, the 3rd round will be held there. Within its framework, Benfica and PSG will play among themselves on Wednesday evening.
Benfica
Under current manager Roger Schmidt, Benfica have had a great start in the new league. However, just in the Champions League and in the last draw, the Portuguese were good. They left the group, ahead of not only Dynamo Kiev, but also Barcelona. Well, now it turned out in qualifying, albeit not without hassle, to pass Midtjylland and just Dynamo. And within the framework of the group stage, Benfica was able to beat not only the outsider of the quartet, Maccabi from Haifa, but also Juventus, and in Turin! Milik’s early goal did not interfere either – after the break, Joao Mario and Neres answered with their own balls.
PSG
“Parisians” belong to the richest owners. The only problem is that they play in the French Ligue 1, and if this is a top tournament, then it is the 5th, the least rated of all. Constant victories there (although they missed the 1st place in favor of Monaco, and, a year ago, Lille) have long been bored by everyone – the sheikhs want international recognition, victory in the Champions League. Under Tuchel, it was possible to reach the final, but there was also a defeat for Bayern. And in the last draw, Real Madrid was already caught in the 1/8, and, for all the illogicality, the Spaniards went further. Most likely, this was the verdict for Pochettino. Since the summer, the ambitious project has been coached by Christophe Galtier. And he succeeds, including in the Champions League, where both Maccabi (Haifa) and Juventus were beaten. But both of them, including the Italian grand, are simply clearly weaker. Perhaps, it is the voyage to Benfica that will become the first more or less serious test for professional suitability.
Football prediction Benfica – PSG:
PSG are seen as favorites for the fight. But he doesn’t really need a victory in Lisbon, so it’s better to use the option with a “+1 goals scored” handicap to what Benfica wins (odds – 1.72).
