Monaco and Benfica both finished the league phase of the Champions League with 13 points, so a very tight encounter looks in store when the two sides meet in the play off round. Benfica secured their progress thanks to a superb 0-2 victory over Juventus on Matchday Eight, however their league campaign will be best remembered for the incredible nine goal thriller that saw them fall to a 5-4 defeat defeat against Barcelona on Matchday Seven. Monaco also had a memorable encounter with the Spanish giants, defeating them 2-1 at the start of the league phase. Unfortunately, three defeats in their final four games meant they missed out on an automatic spot in the last 16.

Our Monaco vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction

This is one of those rare games where the bookies make a draw the most likely outcome. And whilst we are inclined to agree with them, the odds of 2.38 on a stalemate are not very appealing. So instead, we are backing Benfica to open the scoring and establish a first half lead. The Portuguese giants have made fast starts in recent games and given Monaco's slightly vulnerable backline, it would not be a surprise to see them do so again on Wednesday. Our prediction for AS Monaco vs Benfica is: Benfica to be winning at half time. 

Prediction:

 

Benfica to be winning at half time
