Benfica Lisbon vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

Prediction published on 19/02/2019, 12:27  by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Predictions

Benfica did not have a very good experience in the Champions League but did just enough to drop to the Europa League, where they have started well and get to face Galatasaray when on a six – game winning run and are seemingly scoring without much trouble. Benfica have two losses and 12 wins in their last 15 matches. They have just one loss in the last 10 Europa League matches, and that came on post match penalties, to Sevilla in 2014. Their return to the competition had a good welcome with the win over the Turkish giants. This match will prove tough for Galatasaray. After their poor show in the Champions League, they dropped to the Europa League but they don’t have a very good history to show here, and getting to this game on the back of a home loss will not work well for them. In the last seven Europa League matches, Galatasaray have won none, while they have one win in 12. Away from home, they have one win in the last six and no win in the last three. They face a Benfica side unbeaten in the last four Europa League matches at home, and having scored at least two goals in each of them. Indeed, Benfica have one loss in their last 20 Europa League matches. The Portuguese side has three wins in the five meetings they have had with Galatasaray, while the Turks have won two.
