Benfica Lisbon vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Predictions
Benfica will continue with their Champions League journey hoping to finally win when they host Real Sociedad on Tuesday. Going into this Group D match, Benfica are bottom while Real Sociedad lead the group. Benfica were deemed favorites for a top two finish in this group but so far things haven't worked that way. They suffered straight losses in their two matches in Group D. A 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Match Day 2 added to a 2-0 opening home loss to Salzburg. Those results left Benfica without a win in four straight Champions League matches. They've lost three of those games, and failed to score in those losses. In three of their last four Champions League games, Benfica conceded two or more goals. However, three of the four matches had under 2.5 goals. Coming into this game though, Benfica have two straight wins. The most recent was the 4-1 win over Lusitania in the Portuguese Cup. Earlier they had beaten Estoril 1-0 away from home and they'll be inspired by these results.
Real Sociedad have had a flying start on their return to the UEFA Champions League. This is their first appearance in the competition in 10 years. They lead this group on four points and will be hoping to add on to those with a win here. A 2-0 away win over Salzburg on Match Day 2 marked a first win in eight Champions League matches. On Match Day 1, the Spanish side drew 1-1 with Inter Milan and here, they want to keep the unbeaten start. For this game, they warmed up with a 1-0 win over Mallorca in La Liga. That win was a recovery from the 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Spanish league. Real Sociedad have posted five wins in their last six matches and will be very confident here. They've however managed just two wins in their five away matches this season. With three clean sheets in their five away matches though, Real Sociedad will feel confident about this game.
