Benfica vs Club Bruges Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 7th March 2023
The scoreline read 0-2 after the first leg and now decision time is here for visitors Club Bruges and Benfica. Their second leg meeting in the Champions League takes place at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday.
Benfica hope for some smooth sailing after grabbing a seemingly airtight 2-0 away win against Club Bruges in the first leg. Coming away from Estadio da Luz with a similar win seems a huge task for the visitors.
Before their upcoming Champions League match, Benfica are performing absolutely brilliant when it comes to goal scoring. In the past ten outings in this tournament, they achieved a formidable average of 2.6 goals per game. An truly great total of 26 goals. They let eight slip in, which creates an average of 0.8 per game. During this run, they fought their way to a clean sheet four times.
Club Bruges are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable nine goals in the past ten outings in this tournament for an average of 0.9 a game. Their opponents scored a total of 19 goals, and while Club Bruges claimed a clean sheet five, they conceded an average of 1.9 per match times.
Benfica vs Club Bruges Prediction
Benfica Form
Benfica are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 3-1 win against Boavista. They went on to beat Vizela by 0-2, before also getting the better of Famalicao in a 2-0 victory. Benfica won four of their previous six Champions League games at the Estadio da Luz. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded eight and scored 15 goals.
Club Bruges Form
Club Bruges added four points to their collection in their last three matches, which began with a 2-2 draw with Cercle Bruges. A 2-0 win against Gent followed, before a 3-0 defeat against Oostende in their most recent match. Club Bruges, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn two and lost two in their last six away in the Champions League.
Bookmakers have Benfica down as rather big favourites for the win, when Club Bruges arrive at Estadio da Luz. While it might prove problematic, we still believe they will come through and deliver.
