PSV Eindhoven v Benfica Lisbon Tip & Odds, 08/24/2021 – 21:00 – Champions League Qualification
The first leg between Benfica Lisbon and the PSV could hardly have ended more tightly and excitingly. After the 2-1 home win of the Portuguese, everything is open for the upcoming return game on Tuesday. Even a close 1-0 draw for the PSV would push the Dutch into the group stage of the Champions League.
The team of German coach Roger Schmidt would then be back in the main stage of the premier league after two years of abstinence. The Portuguese capital club failed last year in the third round of the CL qualification against PAOK Saloniki and played only in the Euro League. This fate threatens the Jesus elf again in the event of a defeat in the Philips stadium.
A look at the Champions League PSV Eindhoven – Benfica Lisbon odds reveals that the home team is in the slight favourite role. But how promising is a tip on the Dutch? There are even more attractive bets for Eindhoven against Benfica Lisbon. The following sports betting tip provides information about this.

Roger Schmidt’s team passed the dress rehearsal in the Dutch league as expected, beating Cambuur Leeuwarden 4-1 at home on the weekend. Pröpper (18th) and Zahavi (21st) scored the goals against the promoted team by a double stroke in the first round, as well as Madueke directly after the re-start (48th) and Boscagli in the second period (90th +3rd). Bangura scored the goal of honour for the guests after 66 minutes. The 24-time Dutch champion has thus made a good start to the season and scored the full six points after two matchdays.
In the last playoff round of the CL group phase, the Schmidt-Elf took the first defeat in the current competition. After the 2:0 break through the gates of Rafa and Weigl (10th, 42nd), the Dutch managed to score the important away goal through Gakpo (51st). It was the PSV’s first defeat of Galatasaray Istanbul and FC Midtjylland in the previous two rounds.
On Tuesday, due to injury, Eindhoven will have to renounce Richard Ledezma, Maxime Delanghe and Maximiliano Romero. Substitute goalkeeper Vincent Müller is ill and will probably have to pass. The young offensive midfielder Mohamed Ihattaren is suspended and will at most watch the match against Lisbon on television.

The 37-time champion from Portugal also showed no nakedness in the domestic league and scored three points on Saturday in a guest appearance at FC Gil Vicente (2-0). Lucas Verissimo (84th) and Grimaldo (88th) scored the goals for Jorge Jesus’ team only in the final phase. It looked like a long time after the first points losses in the new season. Benfica also celebrated a perfect start to the league and won all three games. Champion and city rival Sporting Lisbon is even ahead of Benfica in the league table due to a goal.
The season started with the third round of the Champions League qualification for the Portuguese. On 4 and 10 August, however, Spartak did not pose a major hurdle for Moscow. Both duels were won by Lisbon 2-0. With the 2:1 first leg victory against Eindhoven, the Jesus-Elf has won all five games of the season and will go into the decisive duel for the coveted CL-Ticket with a lot of confidence.
Jan Vertonghen, Ferro, Haris Seferovic and Rodrigo Pinho are out of the Dutch second leg due to injury.

The Champions League qualifying match between PSV Eindhoven and Benfica Lisbon promises to be as close a duel as last week in Portugal. Despite the defeat for the PSV in the first leg, Roger Schmidt’s team will go into the match motivated, after all, a 1-0 home win is enough to win the comparison with the traditional Portuguese club.
On the other hand, however, the Jesus team is also confident that they will also score their away goal and then the Dutch will have to meet twice in order to at least reach the extra time.
We are guessing that goals will be scored on both sides and a decision on entering the group phase of the premier class will only be made in overtime or on penalties.
Therefore, our tip forecast is also based on the goal bets “Both teams meet? Yes”. In our view, betting on this market is the most promising. The betting odds are also quite attractive. For example, Bet365 has a TOP odds of 1.72 (odds: 23.08.2021, 2:22 pm).
