LiontipsBenfica vs Real Madrid: betting tip (cf 2.85) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Benfica regularly participates in the Champions League and often reaches the late stages of the tournament, the Eagles are very well equipped and certainly set themselves the task of competing for a ticket to the playoffs. However, it became clear at the start that Portugal's vice-champion would have a very difficult time at the league stage – in the matches against Qarabag (2:3) and Chelsea (0:1) he failed to score a single point.
Benfica's series of defeats continued in the matches against Newcastle (0:3) and Bayer Leverkusen (0:1), after which Jose Mourinho's team played two bright matches with Ajax (2:0) and Napoli (2:0), managing to join the fight for the playoffs. However, a 0-2 defeat in the last round by Juventus dropped the Eagles to 29th place in the table and they are currently two points away from the playoff zone.
In the Portuguese championship before the start of the season, Benfica was also considered a clear contender for the championship title along with Sporting, but it frankly failed in the first round. At the moment, the Eagles occupy the third place in the table with 45 points and are 10 points behind the leader Porto, Sporting is three points ahead - it is very difficult to count on the title in such a situation.

Current form
The status and selection of players obliged Real Madrid to set maximum goals for themselves in the Champions League – before the start of the tournament, cream were among the main favorites and definitely expected to be in the 1/8 finals directly. The cream started with three wins in a row and immediately found themselves in the top eight, there were no problems at the league stage after such a start.
However, Real Madrid still failed in several matches - in the fourth round they lost 0:1 to crisis Liverpool away, in the sixth round they lost 1-2 at home to Manchester City. A mistake in the home match against Monaco in the last round could have turned into huge troubles for Real Madrid, but they did not happen – the 6:1 victory allowed the cream to be on the third line in the table.
In the Spanish championship, the first round turned out to be unstable – at the start, Real Madrid gained an advantage over Barcelona, then managed to lose it and find themselves in the role of catching up. The defeat in the Super Cup served as the reason for the resignation of Xabi Alonso, Alvaro Arbeloa has been appointed in his place so far – with a new mentor, Real Madrid beat Villarreal 2-0 in the last round and is still only one point behind Barcelona.

Benfica still has a chance to compete for a place in the playoffs, but for this the hosts need only a victory and mistakes of competitors today. The eagles have nothing much to lose, and they will probably go forward in force from the very first minutes. It will be almost impossible for Real Madrid to win back in such a situation, despite two dry matches in a row, it is unlikely that the defense will be able to play reliably under such pressure. At the same time, the cream ones clearly have their own plans for points, Real Madrid scores a lot and regularly, the duel will clearly be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. The betting tip is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered for 1.75
Betting on the outcome
Benfica has been unstable lately and Jose Mourinho is already under serious pressure and the risk of not finishing before the end of the season is quite real. Real Madrid looks quite decent after the change of mentor, there is no huge pressure on the team today, it is unlikely that the cream will fall out of the top eight, but there is a theoretical possibility, the guests will have plenty of motivation. It makes sense to give preference to Real Madrid today, Benfica in its current state is hardly capable of sensationalism.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-1) on Real Money. This bet is offered for 2.15
Combined bid
After the resignation of Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid played two very decent matches, got two dry wins and demonstrated that there is no question of a crisis yet. Today, the Galacticos will certainly strive to take all three points, while Real Madrid has not yet secured a direct ticket to the playoffs. Benfica is unstable and unlikely to be able to take points away from the favorite, but at the same time, the eagles have nothing to lose, and the hosts will obviously take a risk – they can definitely win on their own goal.
The bet is Real Madrid's victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 2.85
