Diego Simeone's men travel to the Portuguese capital of Lisbon on Wednesday, where they will face Benfica. Can Atleti resume winning ways following that weekend tie with bitter rivals Real Madrid? The visitors will fancy themselves to make headway at the famous Estadio da Luz, especially after beating RB Leipzig during the first round of UCL fixtures. The hosts certainly won't shy away from this task, though, as they too won first time out in this competition, while they rarely lose at home.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

This won't be an easy game for the hosts, but we shouldn't ignore Benfica's quality. Atleti are strong, sure, but the hosts have the tools to do some damage here. Their sharpest tool may just be Kerem Akturkoglu, who has been scoring for fun this season. The winger/forward is quick, direct, while he can certainly finish, as he's shown in all but one of his four games for Benfica. Given his numbers, odds of +400 are too good to miss. Our Pick: Kerem Arturkoglu to Score.
