Benfica Preview
Benfica comes into Matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage with the possibility of becoming the leader of Group H, as it currently has the same number of points as PSG, and both are the only undefeated teams in the group.
The Portuguese team has two wins and two draws, being the team that has allowed the fewest goals to its opponents in those four matches (3). This will be their last home game of the group stage, and they will have to take advantage of the fact that in the two previous games they won and drew, allowing only one goal.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Odisseas Vlachodimos; Alexander Bah, Nicolás Otamendi, Antonio Silva, Alex Grimaldo; Enzo Fernández, Florentino Luis; David Neres, Rafa Silva, Joao Mario; Goncalo Ramos.
Juventus Preview
Juventus have disappointed their fans in this edition of the Champions League as they have not performed as well as expected, with only one win in four games. The most worrying thing is that they lost the other three matches, and together with Maccabi Haifa they are the teams with the most defeats in Group H.
In their last Champions League match, they suffered a painful 2-0 defeat against Maccabi Haifa and if they suffer another setback in this match, they could say goodbye to international competitions. At the moment, they have a chance to qualify for the Europa League, and they depend on themselves to do so.
Absences: Mattia De Sciglio, Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria and Federico Chiesa.
Probable lineup: Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo da Silva, Leonardo Bonucci, Daniele Rugani, Sandro Lobo Silva; Weston McKennie, Leandro Paredes, Adrien Rabiot, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado; Moise Kean, Dusan Vlahovic.
JefeBet Prediction
Benfica has not lost at home in all competitions since last May and registers nine matches without losses, so the Portuguese side may be able to maintain this positive streak against an opponent that lost both of its previous away matches in this group stage.
Prediction: Benfica win by a score of 2-0.
