LiontipsBenfica vs Qarabag: betting tip (cf 2.12) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
In the last draw of the Portuguese championship, Benfica took second place and made its way through the qualifying screen to the main tournament of the Champions League. We managed to beat difficult opponents Nice and Fenerbahce and qualify for the main tournament for the fifth time in a row. Despite the traditional big changes in the squad, the Eagles entered the new season confidently. In four matches in the Mayor's Office, Bruno Lage's team scored ten points and are in fourth place, while all the competitors played a match more. The only misfire in the championship occurred in the last round in a duel with Santa Clara (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ba, M. Silva and Bruma will not play today due to injuries. The appearance of Lukbakio and Dedic on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Benfica have won in the first half.
- There was no goal exchange in three of the Eagles' five previous matches.
Approximate line–up: Trubin – Araujo, Otamendi, A.Silva, Dal Rios, Barrenechea – Eursnes, Barreiro, Schelderup – Pavlidis.
Current form
Qarabag has won the Azerbaijani championship for four years in a row, played in the Champions League qualifiers, but only qualified for the main tournament this season. In the final of the selection, Gurban Gurbanov's team defeated Ferencvaros: they won 3-1 away and lost 2 at home.:3. In those duels, the runners did not take unnecessary risks, played on the counterattack and, due to clear implementation, turned out to be stronger than the Hungarian grandee. It is obvious that the team is betting on European cups now, so far in the national championship they have managed to score only four points in three matches, with which Karabakh occupies an unusual seventh place.

Karabakh has no losses in its composition.
Interesting betting trends

11.00Tip and bets
Benfica overcame the resistance of Nice and Fenerbahce in qualifying, it is unlikely that they will experience big problems against Karabakh today, they will play at least for their own goal with the support of the fans. At the same time, special attention should be paid to the attack of the horses and their ability to make the most of a few moments. In the confrontation with Ferencvaros, Gurban Gurbanov's team used almost all their chances at the other side's goal, playing as the second number. The goal of the guests will not be a big surprise today. We believe that bookmakers in their quotes somewhat underestimate the option of betting on the exchange of goals scored. Let's add that Qarabag scored in the Champions League in 10 of the last away matches.
Our betting tip is that both will score for a coefficient of 2.12
Betting on the outcome
Despite all the recent successes and reaching the main stage, Karabakh is noticeably inferior in class to the Portuguese. Benfica has not lost on its own field this season, it has managed to win three times. Taking into account the horses' not very reliable defense, we think the victory of the hosts will be confident, with a difference of at least two goals.
The second bet is the victory of Benfica with an Asian handicap (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on corners
In 11 of the last 13 home matches in the Champions League, Benfica did not complete more than six innings from the corner flag. We do not think that the Eagles will exceed this level in terms of corners today.
The betting tip is that Benfica's total corners are less than 6.5 with a coefficient of 2.05
