PSV Eindhoven vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Nella Wagah | in Champions League Predictions
Both PSV and Benfica had winning outings in their respective league matches and will be squaring it out in the return leg of their Champions League play-off. Hosts PSV trail 2-1 from the first leg and head here hoping to overturn that and secure a place at the group stage. Cody Gakpo scored the consolation goal for PSV in the first leg after Benfica took a 2-0 lead at half time, and that could prove crucial in the second leg. PSV needs at least a 2-0 win to advance and that doesn’t sound like an impossible mission for a team coming from a 4-1 win over Cambuur. Definitely Benfica will be stronger opponents but PSV have proven they have the goals, scoring two or more in three of their last five, including a 4-0 win over Ajax. They have three clean sheets in the last five matches and in their eight matches so far this season, they have seven wins. At home, they’ve played three matches this season and won all, scoring 12 and conceding two.
Benfica have the advantage from the first leg and in their three earlier competitive matches against PSV, they’ve never lost. However, they’ve also never beaten PSV away from home and going to Eindhoven, they will only be seeking to avoid defeat. Benfica are on a fine run and are coming from a 2-0 win over Gil Vicente – their sixth straight win, and 11th match unbeaten. They’ve scored two in each of their last six matches and kept four clean sheets in the process. Benfica have had three away games this season, and won all, scoring two in each one of them. In their last 11 away matches, Benfica have one loss and 10 wins.
