LiontipsBenfica - Nice: betting tip and bets for the Champions League qualification match
Command Analysis
Current form
Benfica had a great opportunity to compete for the league title last season – Porto is in restructuring mode and did not seriously claim gold, and Sporting's main competitor has been in crisis for a long time. However, in the end, Bruno Lage's team still lost the title to the lions. In the summer, the Eagles played in the World Club Championship and were eliminated in the 1/8 finals by Chelsea, and a month later they won the Portuguese Super Cup. In the Champions League qualification, Benfica beat Nice 2-0 in the first match and has already almost guaranteed itself a ticket to the next round.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bruma is disqualified. Ba, Silva and Akturkoglu are injured.

Current form
Nice was not considered a clear contender for the Champions League last season, being inferior to many direct competitors in terms of player selection, but it achieved its goal. Thanks to a strong finish, the Eaglets beat Lille and Lyon and finished fourth, earning a ticket to the Champions League qualification. In the home match against Benfica, Nice had no room for error, but a fiasco happened - a 0-2 defeat leaves frankly little chance of passage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ndombele, Abdelmonem, Ndaishimie and Sanson were injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Nice has lost two of its last three matches.
- Nice have lost their last three matches to Benfica.
Approximate line–up: Diouf - Mendy, Ba, Dante–Kloss, Boudaoui, Rosario, Bar–Bouanani, Moffy, Jansson.

1.85Tip and bets
Nice was not initially considered a favorite of the pair, but she clearly expected to give a fight at home. However, a two–goal defeat now leaves the eaglets with no other option but to take risks and go forward with great strength from the first minutes - for sure the French will play openly and are unlikely to remain without scoring goals in the second match in a row. At the same time, Benfica has already managed to get into excellent shape, the eagles will certainly also play openly at home and are certainly capable of responding.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.65
Betting on the outcome
In the first match, Benfica demonstrated that they are objectively stronger today and the victory with a two-goal difference was by no means accidental. Today, the eagles are unlikely to only hold the advantage, but they will certainly try to win at home. Nice will have to take risks, Benfica will have plenty of free space, the Eagles are quite capable of winning in the return match, Nice is still very far from optimal shape.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-1) on Benfica. This bet is offered for 1.95
Betting on corners
Benfica is unlikely to allow themselves to hold the advantage at home and will certainly be active ahead, but there is no point in Nice sitting at their own goal after a home defeat – there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
