Benfica are going face to face with Lyon at the Stadio Algarve in the International Champions Cup fixtire. The match will be played in Sao Joao da Venda on Wednesday, August 1st.
Benfica is quite a famous team for a lot of football fans in Europe but they haven`t succeeded on the European scene for a long period of time. There are a lot of good players in the squad of the Aguias who often show great performances in the Primeira Liga. The main goal for Benfica is to successfully grow young players so we shouldn`t expect much from them in the new season. In their last three matches Benfica lost to Juventus with a 1-2 score, beat Borussia Dortmund with a 3-2 score and beat Sevilla with a 1-0 score.

Lyon have been showing stable performances in Ligue 1 for years which has been a sign of their high class. There a lot of players with great individual qualities in the squad of Les Gones but they need some changes in order to succeed on the European scene. The management set big goals for Lyon for the new season so the team is probably going to compete for the gold in their local league. Last three matches for Lyon ended with a 2-1 win over Wolfsburg, a 4-0 win over Fulham and a 1-2 loss to Huddersfield.
In their last match between them Lyon were able to beat Benfica with a 3-2 score. It is likely that the teams will score a lot of goals in the upcoming fixture too.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored.
