LiontipsNice - Benfica: betting tip and bets for the Champions League qualification match
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season, Nice was not considered a clear contender for a ticket to the Champions League, being inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection. However, the eaglets held the championship very powerfully and at the finish line, in a stubborn struggle, they snatched the fourth place from Lille and Lyon. Frank Eze's team did not make any high-profile transfers in the summer, but they managed to strengthen several positions. Nice prepared for the start of the Champions League qualification through test matches, in the last of which they beat Sheffield United 3-2.

Benfica fought a desperate battle for the league title with Sporting last season and had a serious chance of success, given the slump of the Lions in the first half of the season, but they couldn't cope with the task and finished second. In June, Bruno's team played at the World Club Championship, where they got out of a difficult group, but they were eliminated by Chelsea in the 1/8 finals. A few days ago, Benfica opened a new season and won the first trophy, beating Sporting 1-0 in the Portuguese Super Cup.

1.65Tip and bets
Nice had an outstanding last season and played particularly well at home, so Benfica should not expect a warm welcome today. The eaglets traditionally play aggressively in attack and are highly effective, it is unlikely that the hosts will remain without scoring goals in such an important match for themselves. At the same time, Benfica showed by winning the Super Cup that they were well prepared for the season, the Eagles scored in more than two dozen matches in a row, and they will surely be able to extend the series today.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.61
Betting on the outcome
Nice looked good in the test matches and in general has probably already gained good shape – the eaglets are not the favorites of the pair, but they will certainly strive to give a fight. Nevertheless, Benfica has a fairly tangible advantage in class and is on the move, it is unlikely that the Portuguese will be too cautious, but they will certainly try to solve a lot in this pair in France. Today, Benfica looks objectively stronger, it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
The bet is an Asian handicap (0) on Benfica. This bet is offered for 1.75
Betting on corners
Nice will definitely be aggressive up front at home, but Benfica knows how to play on opposite courses and will also spend a lot of time attacking - there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.79
