Benfica Lisbon vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Predictions
Benfica hosts the first leg, in what will be their first competitive game on the season after managing two wins in six preseason games and they face the Turkish side, who also have two wins in six preseason games they took part in. Benfica finished their International Champions Cup assignments with two losses but they are expected to give their all here. They have three wins and two losses in the last five home matches, scoring eight goals and conceding four. In their last 10 matches Benfica have lost three and won five and they have kept five clean sheets in the process. They have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches and they will need that so much heading to this game as they have lost each of their last seven Champions League matches and have just one home win in the competition in five matches. They are however not too far from Fenerbahce, who have won none of their last five away Champions League matches and have just two wins in 10 matches in the competition. Fenerbahce head to this game with an unconvincing run though unbeaten in their last four, where they have two draws and two wins. The big issue for them is the away run; they have one win, two losses and two draws in the last five, and have scored 12 but conceded seven. With five wins and two losses in their last 10 matches, they seem to have enough to trouble their hosts but they have managed just two clean sheets in the last 10 matches. They have however scored in each of their last 15 matches.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
This will not be the normal Champions League qualifier, it holds the prospects of fireworks. Both teams are group stage material and after picking mixed results in preseason, they will want to make this perfect. The pressure, however will be more on the home side. Benfica have not won a Champions League game in the last seven and have won just one in the last five at home. But still, they face a Fenerbahce side also not so good at this competition, with no win in the last five away matches. Fenerbahce have won two of their last 10 Champions League matches. Based on their home and away stats, we expect both teams to go all out but Fenerbahce’s away run may just let them down, as they have just one clean sheet and three wins in seven away games while they face Benfica, who have three wins in their last five at home. Both teams have also shown good consistency in scoring and we can back a bet of both teams to score here, with a Benfica win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
