Benfica vs Liverpool Preview & Picks


Liverpool have won their last 10 Premier League matches and will fancy their chances in Portugal.

I am backing the Reds to beat Benfica to nil in the Champions League.

  • Benfica have kept 2 clean sheets in their last 13 matches (all competitions).
  • Liverpool have won their last 10 matches (Premier League).
  • Liverpool have won to nil in their last 4 matches (all competitions).

Head To Head


Liverpool have a 6-4 advantage against Benfica in 10 matches.

Benfica Form & Team News


Benfica recently went undefeated in nine matches in all competitions.

Nelson Verissimo’s side won 1-0 at Ajax in the Champions League after a 2-2 draw in the first leg. They had 31% possession in Amsterdam with Darwin Núñez scoring with their only shot on target.

The Eagles returned to the Primeira Liga with a 2-1 win against Estoril, Rafa and Gonçalo Ramos on target.

Benfica lost 3-2 at Braga on Friday. They were 2-0 down, equalising through Darwin Nunez and João Mário before conceding again in the 79th minute.

Rodrigo Pinho and Lucas Verissimo are injured, while Adel Taarabt is doubtful.

Expect Darwin Nunez to be back into the starting side here.

Liverpool Form & Team News


Liverpool have won their last 10 Premier League matches and sit one point behind Manchester City at the top of the table.

Jürgen Klopp’s side have won to nil in their last four games. The Reds won 2-0 at Brighton, 2-0 at Arsenal and 1-0 at Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup with Diogo Jota scoring the winner.

Liverpool are coming off a 2-0 win against Watford on Saturday. Diogo Jota opened the scoring with Fabinho’s late penalty wrapping it up.

Centre back Joel Matip is doubtful alongside midfielders Curtis Jones and Naby Keïta.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane should all return to the starting side.

Verdict


Liverpool have won to nil in their last four matches and will fancy their chances in Portugal.

I am backing the Reds to beat Benfica in the Champions League and keep a clean sheet.
