23rd February 2022 – 21:00, Estádio da Luz, Lisbon
Benfica and Ajax will meet in the Champions League eighth-finals on Wednesday evening. The home side hopes to secure a positive result in front of their fans, while the visitors want to extend their winning streak.
Benfica Preview & Team News
Benfica enters this match after a 2:2 draw in the Primeira Liga against Boavista. However, the Eagles enjoyed a big success reaching the knockout stage ahead of Barcelona. Benfica has been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last six games. They’ve managed to rack up 11 during that time while conceding a total of seven. Darwin Nunez is playing perfectly this season, he scored 18 goals in the Portuguese League, and many big clubs are interested in this guy. Haris Seferovic (Leg Injury), Lucas Veríssimo (Ruptured cruciate ligament), and Rodrigo Pinho (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) aren’t available for Benfica manager Nélson Veríssimo.

Ajax Preview & Team News
Ajax comes into this game following on from a narrow 1:0 Eredivisie win with the downing of Willem II in their most recent game. They have been excellent in the group stage, being successful in all six rounds. The Ajax defense’s series of resolute showings has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded, standing at one from their past six outings overall. In that period, the number of goals they scored themselves is 25. Dušan Tadić, the alpha, and omega of this team, a football master pushing the boundaries of statistics to 23 matches this season, scored seven goals and recorded as many as 15 assists. Ajax manager Erik ten Haag has to choose from a squad with some fitness concerns. Zakaria Labyad (Unknown Injury), Mohamed Ihattaren (Fitness), and Sean Klaiber (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will not play in this match.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The hosts haven’t been confident at the home ground lately, as they won only twice on the previous five occasions in front of the home crowd. Although Ajax has had some internal problems recently, we believe they will be able to secure the advantage in the first leg.
Goals Market Prediction
Benfica’s defense has been pretty leaky at Estadio da Luz lately, as they failed to keep the clean sheet five times in a row. On the other hand, Ajax has been lethal in front of the oppositions’ goalkeepers, and we see this game going over a 2.5 margin.
