Juventus Preview
For starters, Juve have scored a total of 10 goals in the last 7 games dating back to August 15 this year. They have had a rather regular performance in which they have won 2 of those 7 games. As for the others, they have drawn 4 matches and lost one against PSG by a score of 2-1 on the first day of the tournament.
Therefore, there have not been many conversions lately, and it is precisely the goals that win games. Playmaking is the Turin team’s main weakness, and if they fail to capitalize against the Portuguese, they will have a dark outlook for the rest of the group stage.
Possible starting eleven: Mattia Perin; Mattia de Sciglio, Leonardo Bonucci, Bremer, Juan Cuadrado; Filip Kostić, Fabio Miretti, Leandro Paredes, Weston McKennie; Moise Kean, Dusan Vlahovic.
Benfica Preview
On the other hand, Benfica is ahead of Juventus on the all-time record, with two wins to nil and no draws. Their first Champions League match was against Maccabi Haifa. This team has an incredible streak of 19 consecutive games won this year since May 13.
Over the last month (since August 9), they have scored 21 goals thanks to Joao Mario, Gonçalo Ramos, and Rafa Silva, all of whom are available for this coming Wednesday’s match. The Lusitanians arrive in a great moment to face their biggest opponent to advance in the tournament, which shows no signs of improvement.
Possible starting eleven: Odisseas Vlachodimos; Alexander Bah, Antonio Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Alejandro Grimaldo; Florentino Luis, Enzo Fernandez; David Neres, Joao Victor, Joao Mario; Gonçalo Ramos.
