On the first day of the game, the Portuguese played away to Dynamo Kiev. In the match, the guests were distinguished above all by a lot of possession of the ball. In some cases, more than 64 percent of possession of the ball was gears and balls. These, however, did not necessarily result in good scoring chances for the Portuguese. Since the home team was only able to attack to a limited extent, it went into the half-time break without scoring. After the side change, both teams developed more traction to the goal and played out one or the other goal chance. In the end, however, both Kiev and Benfica were unable to accommodate the ball in the opposition’s box and so it remained at 0-0.
Together with the Ukrainians, Lisbon shares the second place in group E. The quotas, however, make it clear that Benfica is more likely to act as an outsider for entering the knockout round. In the last three Champions League appearances, Benfica finished after the preliminary round. Whether the knockout round can be reached this time will become clear.
To the extent that the qualifying rounds are included this season, Benfica has been undefeated in the premier league for five days (3 wins, 2 draws). At the national level, Benfica is currently showing off a white vest and is looking at a series of seven consecutive victories. This results in the maximum yield of 21 points. The elf of coach Jorge Jesus greets from the top of the table and passed the dress rehearsal last Saturday with 3:1 at Viktoria Guimaraes.

The Catalans had to prove their skills against the German record champion from Munich on the first matchday of the premier class. Both teams went on early and wanted to prevent the opponent from building up the game with an early pressing. Bavaria had little access to the game at first. The home team was better developed without a move to the gate. However, with increasing playing time, the defense of the Catalans began to falter more and more. After the Munich team abandoned the first opportunities, Müller took care of the deserved 1:0 (34th). The Spaniards wanted to react before the break, but simply had no means to achieve the balance.
In the second round, Munich were more dominant and were able to increase a double pack of Lewandowski (56th, 85th) to 3-0. A more than deserved victory, as the Catalans were inferior to the Bundesliga team in all respects.
Due to the more than clear defeat, Barcelona slipped into last place in group E. Nevertheless, the betting providers do believe in the qualification for the knockout round and rate this fact with a very low rate. The “Blaugrana” acts as a regular guest in the Champions League and has always reached the knockout stage in the past 19 years. The last game was against Paris St. Germain in the last sixteen.
After two draws in a row, Barcelona were able to score a threesome against Levante in the league. In front of home scenery, a clear 3-0 victory stood out. The victory improved the team to sixth place in the league table. The gap to the leader Real Madrid is already five points. The national championship has slipped into the distance for the time being.

The search for a favorite tip runs into the void with this approach. Both teams will meet on an equal footing. Since 2006, both competitors have faced each other four times. In the course of these four encounters, Benfica did not win a single victory. Barcelona won twice and two more games ended with a draw.
Both teams recently played hard and will want to come to the first victory in the premier class. The direct duels were in the past quite poor. Twice the encounters ended without a goal and twice with less than 2.5 hits. This time, too, there are only a few goals to be expected. For this reason, in the course of our Champions League betting forecast, it is advisable to bet on the market “less than 3.5 goals”.
