LiontipsBenfica vs Juventus. Prediction and Betting Tips for 202-23 UEFA Champions League (October 25, 2022).
Command Analysis
Benfica enjoyed a flying start to the season. They are the main favourites to win the Portuguese league and currently top the standings with 28 points from 10 games, six points ahead of the closest pursuer Porto. In the last round, Roger Schmidt's men got a slender victory over the Dragons (1:0).
In the Champions League, Benfica weren't considered favourites, but they have exceeded all expectations. The team is undefeated after the first four games; they are 2nd in Group H with eight points, five points ahead of their current opponent.
Juventus, on the contrary, couldn't deliver in the first third of the season. Massimiliano Allegri's men are in 8th place in the Serie A standings after 11 games, they are losing ten points to the current leader Napoli and won't be able to compete for the Scudetto this season. Even a top-4 finish seems unlikely at the moment.
In the Champions League, the Old Lady sits in 3rd place in Group H. They are level on points with Maccabi Haifa, who can snitch a ticket to the Europa League playoffs from Juve. The team retains a chance for the top-2 finish, but they need to win both remaining games.

Tip and bets
Juventus are in a very difficult position right now. The only result that leaves them a chance of qualifying is a win, but their opponent is very tough. Juve were disappointing this season, but we believe the team will be able to rally and collect points in this game. Benfica had a tiring game against Porto last weekend, so Juventus should at the very least not lose tonight.
Our prediction – Juventus to not lose
Despite all setbacks, the Old Lady has a chance to reach the last 16, and while this chance remains, they will strive to get maximum points. Juventus have top quality performers on offense; they can score a goal and then defend that advantage.
Second bet - Juventus to win by 1 goal
