Recently Benfica have succeeded only in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Meanwhile in the UEFA Champions League, the Portuguese showed extremely poor football, having been broken in all four matches and lost nearly all chances to appear in the spring stage of the Eurocups. “Aguias” look completely helpless on the road, having been destroyed in the first away battle by Basel with 0:5 scoreline and failed 0:2 to Manchester United in the second one. It also should be mentioned that Benfica scored just one goal in four encounters played.
CSKA Moscow won the first-lap fight at Benfica’s turf with 2:1 scoreline. All in all the rivals met three times in their history and the Portuguese have succeeded in them not a single clash while deserved only one draw. “Armeitsy” will do their best in the upcoming game to gain a victory, however, Benfica also need points badly and they will get them in Moscow.
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
