Reason for Benfica vs Juventus Predictions
High-flying Benfica has forgotten what it is like to lose, going 12 games unbeaten in the Portuguese top flight, and they have won four of their last five on home soil. Benfica has never lost this season and, on the contrary, in the previous round of the championship, has consolidated its leadership, going to win 0-1 over Porto direct competitor for the title. And we remember that the Lusitanians already won in Turin 1-2. Benfica away games at the top table of the Champions League have followed suit, including in success at this ground last term. Petar Musa finally shows his proper form and scores important goals. He creates a lot of problems for the opposing defenders. Enzo Fernandez has the right role in the team, he moves great in the middle of the field, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy. Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Benfica manager Roger Schmidt to contend with due to a largely intact set of players. Morato (Sprained Ankle) misses out.
Juventus’s hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 of the Champions League are reduced to a flicker, but there is a competition to honor and two more games to play, hoping for a miracle and, in any case, with the aim of at least hitting the passage to Europe League from third in Group H. With this spirit, Massimiliano Allegri’s Bianconeri will go to Lisbon to face Benfica with a 4-0 win in the league against Empoli, which has increased their self-esteem after their previous success in the derby. Juventus could hardly be accused of bringing the greatest form into this fixture, with their recent return standing at just two points from a possible 21 at the top table of the Champions League. Filip Kostić is a guy who causes a lot of problems for the opponent on the left side. He is fast and unstoppable in a one-on-one game. Moise Kean is a new reinforcement, and this guy is expected to score as many goals as possible. Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has to choose a team with limited availability. Bremer (Biceps muscle injury), Mattia De Sciglio (Hamstring Injury), Federico Chiesa (Fitness), Paul Pogba (Knee Surgery), Ángel Di María (Biceps muscle injury), and Leandro Paredes (Biceps muscle injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
Conclusion
There are no favorites in this match, and we won’t be surprised if this clash could end in a draw.
This will be a big fight between these two rivals, and we should expect a goal from both teams. Football fans should enjoy this match and see at least a goal in each net.
