Benfica RB Leipzig betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The Germans have a superior squad to the opponent of this match, being natural that they create several difficulties to score goals. On the other hand, Benfica should take the field with an offensive mentality, looking for the spaces to apply their strong attacks, but should present some physical flaws. It should be noted that RB Leipzig have not lost any games this season. That said and given these factors, risking in favor of the '' Double Possibility of RB Leipzig '' market is a good option.

Preview
Benfica and RB Leipzig meet at Estádio do Sport Lisboa and Benfica (da Luz), in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 30‑07‑2017, and ended in a (2‑0) win by RB Leipzig. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since RB Leipzig presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Benfica

The home team makes its debut in this competition, since they had direct access and didn't have to go through any of the previous rounds. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 12 wins and 3 losses in away matches; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got a home win against Gil Vicente by (2‑0). In the last 10 home matches Benfica has won 8 and lost 2. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 2 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 8 of the last 9 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 5 of those 8 matches and have always held on to the lead until the end of the 90'. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 6 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Benfica heads into this match after a 2-0 win against Gil Vicente, totaling their second consecutive win in this Portuguese championship: both goals were signed by Pizzi. It should be noted that the "red team" reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, however, lost against Eintracht Frankfurt. Usually we can see that the coach Bruno Lage draws his team in the classic 4-4-2 and favors organized attacks, mainly through the corridors: Rafa Silva is excellent in transporting the ball to the attack. On the other hand, Pizzi is the most important man in Benfica: great pass quality, game vision and set pieces. For this match there are absences due to injury: Conti, Gedson Fernandes, Florentino Luís and Chiquinho.

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, Tomas Tavares, Rúben Dias, Álex Grimaldo, Francisco Ferreira, Ljubomir Fejsa, Pizzi, Franco Cervi, Adel Taarabt, Raúl de Tomás, João Filipe.

Analysis Leipzig

The away team had direct access to this group stage. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 36 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the Bundesliga, they got a home tie against Bayern München by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches RB Leipzig has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 16 of the last 24 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

RB Leipzig have evolved from game to game and in the last game they drew 1-1 against Bayern Munich: their only goal was signed by Forsberg. Remember that the visitors played in the Europa League last season, but didn't go beyond the group stage. In this away match it is expected that the coach Julian Nagelsmann will play in the usual 4-4-2 favoring the defensive organization and the wing counterattacks. Striker Timo Werner is the star of RB Leipzig, who is very fast and strong in finishing. For this game the outsider "mister cannot count on Adams, Wolf, Kampl and Upamecano, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Péter Gulácsi, Nordi Mukiele, Marcel Halstenberg, Ibrahima Konaté, Willi Orbán, Konrad Laimer, Emil Forsberg, Marcel Sabitzer, Diego Demme, Timo Werner, Yussuf Poulsen.
