Team News

Benfica
Barcelona
  • Renato Sanches is the home side's only confirmed absentee, with Tiago Gouveia still a doubt.
  • Ronald Araujo should continue alongside Pau Cubarsi in the absence of Inigo Martinez.
  • Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal and Dani Olmo miss out due to injury.

Prediction

  • Benfica come into Tuesday's welcome of Barcelona on a four-game winning run following their 4-0 triumph over Famalicao at the weekend.
  • Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw by Getafe to end their own four-game winning streak. The Spanish side lost 3-0 they last time they face Benfica in Lisbon.
  • This is a tough one to call given the respective form of both sides, with the spoils potentially shared in what should be an entertaining clash.

  • A moment of silence for everyone who missed this game... (I am one of them)

  • The keepers were immense

  • OMG!! It was a penalty for Benfica so instead of 4-5 it should have been 5-4... but Benfica shouldn't have move the defense do high in the last seconds of the match anyway.

  • @hellreaper You really should go back to school and practice on your math skills, if Benfica should have a penalty they MIGHT have scored on, they would have 5 goals, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAGICALLY TAKE AWAY ONE OF THE OTHER TEAMS GOALS because that's not how it works. Adding Vs subtracting. + Vs -. Learn the difference.

  • @Socio4Life Yes, that's exactly how it works with VAR nowadays. Real score was 5:4 or 4:4, depending on whether Benfica had scored that clear penalty.

  • @Socio4Life Math’s simple, logic is what seems to be lacking in your comment. If the penalty for Benfica was given, Barcelona ‘s goal wouldn’t have counted. Is it really that hard to understand?

  • @Socio4Life Yes it does. Because the Barcelona's goal would be disallowed and turned into a penalty for Benfica to score in the same play.

  • Szczesny ! What a phenomenal performance lol

  • should be nice match indeed, bts and overs

  • @koziol.mutant Szczesny earning his pension today ;) MOM for Benfica

  • 2-5 barcelona

  • @zhiwei9909 Funny, but in the end of the day you wer enot far away from it.

  • @zhiwei9909 Good luck with that

  • @Madcat Probably a closer bet to what happened than whatever you thought was gonna happen. Maybe you should try the adult thing and apologize for being a dick?

  • @Madcat thx

  • Should be plenty of goals from 2 very attacking sides.

  • @Marbella You nailed it
