Real Sociedad vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath | in Champions League Prediction
Real Sociedad and Benfica will lock horns for the second time in as many weeks in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. The hosts currently lead Group D heading into the second half, while Benfica are yet to register a point in the competition. Sociedad won the match in Lisbon 1-0 thanks to a Brais Mendez goal just after the hour mark. They dominated possession across the 90 and also recorded 12 attempts at goal compared to Benfica’s ten. The hosts come into this match following a 1-0 loss to Barcelona over the weekend. That result brought an end to a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions. It was also the only home loss they have conceded in 19 competitive matches. The White and Blues held Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw in week one and overcame Salzburg 2-0 in game two. The bookies make them the favourites in this one.
Meanwhile, having lost all three matches in this competition so far, this is a must-win for Benfica. The Eagles were beaten 2-0 by Salzburg and 1-0 by Inter Milan in the first two weeks of the competition, which means they have also failed to score a goal in this year’s tournament. Something has just not clicked for The Reds in Europe, as their league form has been very good. They are in second place in the Primeira Liga and have scored 21 goals in ten league matches to date. In addition, their only away loss in away matches came against Inter last month, but they are on an eight-match winning streak in all the other competitions. Second-placed Inter Milan plays Salzburg in the other match of the group, and if Benfica lose here and Inter win their match, The Eagles will not be able to progress in this competition.
