LiontipsBenfica vs Fenerbahce: betting tip and bets for the Champions League match
Command Analysis

Benfica is conducting the start of the season almost flawlessly. First, they managed to win the Super Cup, beating Sporting with a minimum score of 1:0.

In the Mayor's Office, Bruno Lage's team has a maximum of six points after two rounds without conceding a single goal. In general, Benfica has not missed yet, although they have played six official matches since the beginning of the season. In Turkey, a zero draw was recorded in the first game against Fenerbahce, which, in general, leaves the Portuguese with a good chance of reaching the main round.

Current form
Fenerbahce entered the season with Champions League qualifiers against Feyenoord. Then it was possible to overcome the opponent's resistance only due to a home victory (5:2), and away there was a defeat with a score of 1:2. Obviously, Jose Mourinho's team was betting on a home meeting and in the confrontation with Benfica, but they failed to create a reserve for themselves (0:0). In that meeting, the canaries had the advantage, from the 71st minute they played in the majority, but they failed to open the enemy's defense. In the national championship, Fenerbahce has already lost points in two rounds, having drawn 0-0 with Goztepe.

7.40Tip and bets
The rivals held their first meeting in an uncharacteristically cautious manner, not taking unnecessary risks. It is unlikely that Benfica and Fenerbahce will remain without scoring goals in the second leg, as they have a very solid attacking potential. There is a high probability that one goal scored will open the game. Moreover, this season they have already given out one super-productive face-to-face match in friendly sparring, scoring five goals then. We are waiting for the goal exchange today.
Our betting tip is that both will score for a coefficient of 1.78
Betting on the outcome
Fenerbahce is traditionally strong on the international stage in home matches. It was due to the factor of their field that the canaries passed Feyenoord in the previous qualifying round. Nevertheless, they are not so much inferior to Benfica in terms of composition, as can be seen in the line of bookmakers. We are waiting for an equal game and recommend the option of betting on a positive head start on the guests.
The second bet is Fenerbahce's victory with an Asian handicap (+1) with a coefficient of 1.85
The first half bet
Neither Benfica nor Fenerbahce are used to forcing things on the pitch. So, the Eagles drew in three of the previous five matches in the first half, and the canaries are now playing a series of three matches in which a draw was recorded in the opening 45 minutes. Accordingly, we recommend another reliable bet.
The betting tip is a draw in the first half with a coefficient of 2.48
