Benfica Lisbon vs. Spartak Moscow Tip & Odds, 08/10/2021 – 21:00 – Champions League Qualification
Benfica has the ambition to play at Champions League level this season. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to win against Spartak Moscow in the third qualifying round of the premier class. The first leg went to the Portuguese 2-0. The signs of progress are therefore by no means bad. Especially since Benfica enjoys the right of home. The tournament will take place on Tuesday, 10 August at 21:00, at Estadio da Luz. The extent to which Benfica can live up to its low odds is to be clarified in the following betting tip forecast.

The first leg between the two competitors was played at Spartak Stadium. For this reason, the Russians had the right of home on their side. Especially in the early stages, both teams scanned each other for the time being and showed little movement towards the goal. The entire first round went without a goal. However, this should change abruptly after the page change. Only five minutes had passed when Rafa Silva put the guests in front. In the 73rd minute of the game, Gilberto continued and made things clear. The home team tried to reach the line again, but ultimately this was not to succeed.
Benfica only finished in third place last season and the team has to cope with the Champions League qualifying rounds. In the first match, the Portuguese made a good impression with their 2-0 success. Since the second leg is played at home, the signs are very good to qualify for the play-offs.
Last season Benfica started in the Europa League. There, the second place behind the Glasgow Rangers came in Group D with a record of three wins and three draws. In the intermediate round, Arsenal was considered second in the group. After a 1-1 defeat in the first leg, the team suffered a narrow 2-3 defeat in the second leg and dropped out of the competition.
The first match day has been completed in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Benfica scored a narrow 2-1 victory against Moreirense. Three points are enough for the seventh place in the league table.
During the summer break, 24.5 million euros were invested in new players. Above all, the middle striker Roman Yaremchuk from Ghent should be mentioned. His fixed fee was 17 million euros. Meite (Turin) and Dias (AS Monaco) were also signed.

As runner-up, Spartak Moscow qualified directly for the third qualifying round of the premier class. Only Petersburg was able to solve the direct ticket to the group phase. However, the 0-2 in the first leg creates a far from good basis for the upcoming second leg. This is also illustrated by the quotas.
Last year, Spartak did not kick Moscow on an international level. The team only finished in seventh place in the league table in the 2019/2020 season.
At the national level, Moscow was struggling at last and won only one of the three league duels. The threesome came on the penultimate matchday after a narrow 1-0 draw against Krylia Sovetov. Furthermore, two defeats against Novgorod and Rubin Kazan had to be accepted. Three points are enough for the tenth place.
Victor Moses is a spectacular newcomer. The Russians had to pay 5 million euros for the services of the right-wing midfield player of the Champions League winner FC Chelsea.

Benfica is a clear favourite in this setting. The Portuguese act in front of their own backdrop and have more potential in their own ranks. Nevertheless, the first leg was won with 2:0. For this reason, a draw or even a narrow defeat would be enough to qualify. However, it is more likely that Benfica will play for victory at home. For this reason, it is clearly advisable to bet on a threesome of the Portuguese as part of our betting tip prognosis.
