Benfica have been horrendous in UCL play this season. They've lost five of their first seven matches and have struggled massively on attack. They're taking on a Real Madrid side with a scorching Kylian Mbappe, who has really started rolling in recent weeks. Their last UCL match they took Monaco down 6-1, and took down Villarreal after 2-0. I'm shocked this line is -115 and would have played it at -150
Benfica’s chances of reaching the knockout stage look slim after losing five out of seven games so far. They’re third in the Portuguese league, and they recently crashed out of both Portuguese cup competitions, so it’s shaping up to be a dismal season. Manager Jose Mourinho will make them difficult to break down, but they could struggle to keep Real Madrid’s world-class forwards at bay for 90 minutes. The likes of Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior should lead Real Madrid to victory here.
