Benfica Lisbon vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
Benfica and Atletico Madrid will put their perfect Champions League records on the line when they lock horns in Lisbon on matchday two this Wednesday evening. As Aguias are currently in 11th place in the League Phase standings, while Los Colchoneros are right behind them in 12th after the first round of the competition. Check out our match prediction below!
This match will be just the third time these two sides will meet, with both previous encounters coming in the 2015-16 group stage of the Champions League. Those matches saw both teams earn a win apiece, both on the road, while they somewhat surprisingly lost their matches at home.
As far as the odds go, Atleti are currently showing up as the favourites, albeit not by a big margin, suggesting that this could be a fairly even contest. Let’s crunch the key numbers and try to find a good angle to approach this round-two matchup.

Benfica Lisbon - Atletico Madrid: Form Analysis
After stumbling out the blocks with a defeat to Famalicao in their first match of the season, Benfica quickly corrected and have built up solid momentum coming into this fixture.
Os Encarnados put in a commanding performance last weekend to thrash Gil Vicente 5-1 at home, extending their current win streak to four in a row, while they are unbeaten in seven across all competitions.
The Primeira Liga outfit kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win over Red Star Belgrade on the road. They now return to Lisbon where they have been flawless this term, winning all four matches they’ve contested to date.
However, Benfica have won only one of their last 10 home matches against Spanish opposition in European competition (W1 D4 L5)!
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid enter matchday two of the Champions League off the back of a 1-1 draw at home to cross-town rivals Real Madrid over the weekend.
That result kept their unbeaten record across all competitions this season intact, with five wins and four draws, including a 2-1 win over Leipzig in the first round of the Champions League a fortnight ago.
Los Colchoneros have a positive record against Portuguese opponents in Europe having won three of their last four games. However, they were beaten by Porto 2-1 in their most recent matchup in November 2022.

Benfica Lisbon & Atletico Madrid Squad Analysis
Benfica will have to make do without two players for this matchday two fixture with Tiago Gouveia and Renato Sanches both ruled out for the foreseeable future with a shoulder and hamstring injury respectively.
Kerem Akturkoglu has been enjoying a purple patch in front of goal lately, scoring three times in the Eagles' last four matches. He will almost certainly keep his place on the right-hand side of the attack alongside Vangelis Pavlidis.
Marcos Llorente was sent off against Real Madrid last weekend but should feature in this match before starting his league ban!
Diego Simeone does have a few notable injury absentees to contend with here, including former Chelsea left-back Cesar Azpilicueta, who is slated to remain sidelined until the next international break.
Joining the 35-year-old defender on the sidelines in midweek will be Borja Garces (cruciate ligament tear) and Pablo Barrios (muscle), both of whom are expected to return to action later this month.
