Benfica will host Club Brugge in the Champions League eighth finals second leg game. The hosts look forward to keeping their advantage from the first match, while the away side hopes they can produce a surprise.

Benfica Preview & Team News

Following on from their previous result, Benfica will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-0 Primeira Liga victory against Famalicão. It was the Eagles’ fourth straight win in all competitions, and they are closer to winning the domestic title. Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that much solidity has been shown by the Benfica rearguard. Benfica has been stingy, seeing the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their last six matches standing at 1. The home side has a great chance to progress to the next round since they have a 2-0 advantage from the first-leg clash. Mihailo Ristić (Hamstring Injury), Chiquinho (Muscle Injury), Gonçalo Guedes (Unknown Injury), and Julian Draxler (Ankle Surgery) are not available for Benfica coach Roger Schmidt.

Club Brugge Preview & Team News

After losing their previous game against Oostende in the First Division A competition, Club Brugge will aim to make amends here. The visitors won only twice in the last 12 games in all competitions and cannot be satisfied with the domestic campaign either. Scott Parker’s Club Brugge has managed to stick the ball in the net a total of 5 times in the course of their previous sextet of matches. The sum of goals that have been scored against them during those same clashes adds up to 8. They need to produce a superb display to stay in the competition for a little longer. Club Brugge manager Scott Parker has multiple availability issues to deal with. Jack Hendry (Biceps femoris muscle injury) and Andreas Skov Olsen (Hip Injury) won’t be making appearances.

Benfica has a much better momentum, and anything besides the home win would be a surprise. Therefore, we believe the Eagles will meet expectations and confirm their place in the quarter-finals.

Goals Market Prediction

The home side’s defense has been quite solid recently, and they shouldn’t allow much action to the opponents. That’s why we think Benfica will keep the clean sheet in this encounter.
