LiontipsJuventus - Benfica: betting tip (cf 3.55) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Juventus approached the start of the Champions League as a potential contender for a place in the top eight – they were not clear favorites in the fight for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals of the Bianconeri, but at the same time the selection of players allowed them to set themselves such tasks. The old lady started with a bright 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund on her own field, managing to win back in the end.
In the first four rounds, Juventus scored only three points and seriously jeopardized their place in the playoffs, it's not even a question of making it into the top eight. However, in the last rounds, already under Luciano Spalletti, the Bianconeri looked more than worthy and scored two consecutive victories over Buda./Glimt (3:2) and Pathos (2:0), thus managing to rise to 17th place in the table.
In Serie A, Juventus clearly expected to compete for the championship title, but failed the opening leg, and the first round as a whole turned out to be extremely unsuccessful. There has been progress recently, but it has not yet been possible to join the championship race – the Bianconeri are fifth in the table and 10 points behind the Inter leader. After losing 0-1 to Cagliari in the last round, Juventus broke a two-game winning streak.

Rukhi, Rugani, Vlakhovich are injured.

The approximate line-up: Di Gregorio – Calulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso – Locatelli, Thuram – McKenny, Miretti, Yildiz – David.
Current form
Benfica has extensive experience in the Champions League and is very well equipped – the Eagles clearly set themselves the task of competing for a place in the playoffs and the selection of players obliged them to set themselves such tasks. Benfica started with a sensational 2-3 home defeat against Qarabag, immediately ending up outside the playoff zone, thus marking the beginning of a disastrous series.
In the next three Champions League matches, Benfica did not score a single point, losing to Chelsea (0:1), Newcastle (0:3) and Bayer Leverkusen (0:1). The situation became critical, but in recent matches, Jose Mourinho's team rallied and beat Ajax (2:0) and Napoli (2:0), taking precious six points. With them, the Eagles now occupy 27th place in the table and are just one point behind the playoff zone.
In the Portuguese championship, Benfica, along with Sporting, was considered the main contender for the championship title before the start of the season, but made a lot of mistakes in the first round. At the moment, the eagles occupy the third place in the table and are already 10 points behind the leader Porto, Sporting is three points ahead - it is very difficult to count on gold in such a situation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ba, Rios, Lukebakio, Araujo are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Benfica have suffered two defeats in their last three matches.
- Benfica have conceded in four of their last five matches.
- Benfica have scored in eight of their last nine away games.
Approximate composition: Trubin – Dedic, T. Araujo, Otamendi, Dal – Barreiro, Eursnes – Prestianni, Sudakov, Schelderup – Pavlidis.

2.85Tip and bets
Juventus will certainly strive to take all three points today – the Socceroos have not yet guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs, but they also have a theoretical chance to compete even for a place in the top eight. Obviously, the hosts will be as aggressive as possible in attack and Benfica is unlikely to have any real chances to leave Turin without conceding goals. However, at the same time, a defeat will practically deprive the Eagles of a chance at the playoffs, the guests will also take risks and will certainly be able to respond.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.90
Betting on the outcome
Juventus looked quite decent in the last matches of the Champions League, and in general, after the change of coach, they increased their stability and the quality of football. The old lady looks especially powerful in home matches and has not suffered a single defeat on her field so far this season. Today, the Bianconeri only need a victory, and in general, the task is quite feasible – Benfica looks nondescript, the mentor and the team are under serious pressure, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
The bet is Juventus' victory. This bet is offered for 1.85
The bet on the difference in the account
Juventus can safely be called the favorite of the match – the old lady is in excellent shape, has an advantage in the selection of players, very rarely makes mistakes at home. The Bianconeri will also have plenty of motivation and the hosts will surely take their three points. At the same time, it is unlikely to count on a defeat, or an easy walk – Benfica will also be motivated, and despite all its problems, it will definitely resist.
The bet is a one–goal Juventus victory. This bet is offered for 3.55
