Our Benfica Lisbon vs Bologna Prediction

Make no mistake about it, summer signing Kerem Akturkoglu has been Benfica's most dangerous player on the continent this season, scoring three goals, averaging an eye-catching 0.68 goals per 90 minutes. Factor in that he also averages 2.51 shots per 90, having scored at the weekend, the Turkish player is well worth betting on to find the net against a Bologna side that has struggled away from home in Europe. Our Pick: Kerem Akturkoglu to Score.
