Maccabi Haifa Preview
Maccabi Haifa is only looking to say goodbye to this edition of the Champions League in a good way. However, although the Israeli side no longer has a mathematical chance of advancing to the knockout stage, they could still go to the Europa League, depending on the result they get here and what happens with Juventus vs PSG.
Surprisingly enough, they have the same number of points as Juventus, after only one win in five games and losing the remaining four. Their weakness has been their defense, as they have conceded 15 goals.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup: Josh Cohen; Daniel Sundgren, Dylan Batubinsika, Shon Goldberg, Pierre Cornud; Ali Mohamed, Neta Lavi; Omer Atzili, Tjaronn Chery, Dean David; Frantzdy Pierrot.
Benfica Preview
Benfica is already on the other side, after three wins and two draws in five matches, and together with PSG, they are the only two unbeaten teams in the group. The Portuguese team won 4-3 against Juventus in their previous match and thus confirmed their place in the round of 16.
The only thing at stake for this match, apart from preserving their positive streak, is the chance to climb to first place, although to do so, they would have to wait for a defeat of PSG, who currently lead the group. Although they have only managed to keep one clean sheet in five games, they have conceded six goals, the fewest in their group.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup: Odisseas Vlachodimos; Alexander Bah, Nicolás Otamendi, Antonio Silva, Alex Grimaldo; Enzo Fernández, Florentino Luis; David Neres, Rafa Silva, Joao Mario; Goncalo Ramos.
JefeBet Prediction
These teams met on Matchday 1 of the group stage and the score was 2-0 in favor of Benfica. Given this result and what the Portuguese team has shown, it is possible that they will achieve another victory, this time in Israeli territory.
Prediction: Benfica win by a score of 1-3.
