Monaco vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
High-flying Monaco will be out to protect their unbeaten UEFA Champions League record on Wednesday night when they play host to Benfica at Stade Louis-II. Les Rouge et Blanc are in third place in the League Phase standings while As Aguias are 19th after the first four rounds of the competition. Let’s get into the match prediction.
This is the third time that these two sides will meet in the Champions League, with both previous encounters coming back in the 2014-15 campaign during the group stage. Benfica won one of those matches (at home) and the other ended level, while Monaco failed to score in either of those games. However, Benfica have never beaten French opposition on the road in Europe’s top-tier club competition (W0 D3 L5).
The hosts are showing up as the favourites at the books in this one, but not by a very big margin, suggesting that an evenly balanced matchup is expected here. Let’s get into the key stats.

Monaco - Benfica Lisbon: Form Analysis
Monaco are enjoying a very impressive 2024-25 season and enter matchday five of this competition as one of only six sides yet to suffer defeat in the new-look Champions League.
Les Monegasques notched up their third win in this competition last time out, beating Bologna 1-0, while they’ve only dropped points in one match which ended in a 2-2 draw away to Dinamo Zagreb.
The hosts are also having an excellent domestic league campaign, currently in second place in Ligue 1 after 12 matches, six points behind perennial champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Monaco have scored more goals in this competition (10) than their last 14 Champions League matches combined!
Meanwhile, Benfica made the perfect start to their Champions League campaign, posting victories in their first two matches against Red Star Belgrade (2-1) and Atletico Madrid (4-0).
However, they were unable to sustain their good form, losing their next two 3-1 at home to Feyenoord and 1-0 on the road against Bayern Munich in rounds three and four.
Those defeats were the only ones the Eagles have conceded in their last 16 matches across all competitions though, while 13 of the remaining 14 games in that period ended in victory and one match finished in a 1-1 draw.

Monaco & Benfica Lisbon Squad Analysis
Monaco are likely to be missing at least three players for this week’s fixture, including Edan Diop (foot) and Folarin Balogun (shoulder), who are slated to remain on the sidelines until next month.
Senegal international Krepin Diatta missed the weekend’s Ligue 1 home fixture against Brest due to a muscle injury, and he is facing at least a further couple of weeks on the treatment table.

Benfica are also likely to be without three players for this trip to France, with Tiago Gouveia definitely ruled out having not featured for the club since sustaining a shoulder injury in August.
Teenager Gianluca Prestianni has now missed the Eagles’ last eight matches with an ankle issue and Renato Sanches is flagged as a doubt after sitting out their domestic cup match with a muscle injury.
