Command Analysis

Benfica

Portugal

Benfica had a confident start to the new season. Currently, Roger Schmidt's team top the Primeira Liga standings with 22 points to its name. They are three points ahead of their main competitors, Porto.

The Eagles did well in the first two rounds of the Champions League. First, they got a clean-sheet victory over Maccabi Haifa at home (2:0), then unexpectedly defeated Juventus in Turin (2:1). Benfica are occupying the 2nd line in the group table, losing to PSG on goal difference.

Paris Saint-Germain

France

PSG started powerfully in the new Ligue 1 season. Under Christophe Galtier, the Parisian club won seven out of eight games. They lost points only once, in the game against Monaco, who managed to hold the champions to a goalless draw.

In the Champions League, PSG got quite an easy group - their opponents are Juventus, Benfica, and Maccabi Haifa. In the first game, the French side got a landslide victory over Juventus (2:1) at home. After that, they celebrated success over Maccabi (3:1), who put up a good fight but couldn't overcome a more powerful opponent.

Tip and bets

1.8PSG to win

Benfica had two great games in the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage, but today the Eagles will face a much more difficult opponent. PSG would like to secure their qualification for the playoffs sooner rather than later, so they will strive to get a win in Portugal. PSG are a better team on paper and should have no problems in Lisbon.

Our prediction – PSG to win

5.2PSG to win by 2 goals

PSG have one of the most powerful attacking lines in Europe - they have scored 33 goals in 11 games across all tournaments. Today, the French team is the strong favourite, and we expect them to win with confidence. Despite Benfica's good form, we don't think they have a chance.
