Benfica
With eight points from four matches, Benfica are in the second position on goal difference in Group H. Moreover, a draw here and a Maccabi defeat by PSG, Benfica will guarantee their qualification to the knockout stage. The Eagles are undefeated in the Champions League this term.
The two-time European champions scored two goals in each of their first two games in the CL. However, in the previous two games, Benfica managed to draw twice by the score of 1-1 against PSG who are one of the candidates to win the CL this season.
Juventus
It hasn’t been a successful Champions League campaign for Juventus so far, to say the least. The Bianconeri lost three of their four games in Group H and with three points they are five points behind second-placed Benfica.
Moreover, with games against Benfica in Lisbon and PSG at home Juve have to perform above the level they are currently displaying. After the Maccabi defeat, Juventus went into a closed camp which paid off as Juventus won their next two Serie A games. Allegri will hope that morale and level will be present in Lisbon.
Juventus will do their best to return to Turin with a positive result. Despite the fact that the bookies are favoring Benfica, we will go against the odds and back a double chance of a draw or away win.
Joao Mario joined Benfica in 2021 and played 37 games scoring seven goals. Since the start of the current Champions League campaign, the Portuguese international scored twice. With odds of 4.40 at 1Xbet, we predict Joao Mario to score anytime in this game.
Adrien Rabbiot is having a fine season with Juventus and he seems to be at the heart of a Juventus comeback. The French international scored twice in Juve’s last game against Empoli. Rabbiot also scored a couple in the CL win over Maccabi.
Benfica’s Morato is out with an ankle injury while Verissimo is doubtful.
Juventus have Bremer, Di Maria De Sciglio, and Ake all expected to return from their injuries in early November, while Pogba is back in training.
