Benfica vs Inter Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 11th April 2023
Inter travel to Estadio da Luz to face Benfica on Tuesday for the first of two meetings in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League.
Benfica arrive at this match following two wins and a 7-1 aggregate score against Club Bruges in the round of 1/8. Inter settled for a draw in the second leg against FC Porto in the round of 1/8, which was enough to see them through. A win in the first leg saw them qualifying with an aggregate score of 1-0.
Benfica managed to slip through their tie against Club Bruges as winners, and the bookmakers have rewarded them by making them favourites Inter. At least in this first leg at the Estadio da Luz, but is looks like a very even encounter against an opponent of similar strength, on paper at least. Inter look strong enough to leave Benfica with a bloody nose, if they don't take good care of their home advantage.
Benfica enjoy some whopping stats from their previous ten matches in this tournament. They average 2.9 goals per game, scoring 29 times while conceding 11. That is an average of 1.1 per game, as they pulled off a clean sheet in five of the matches.
Inter are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 12 goals in the past ten outings in this tournament for an average of 1.2 a game. Their opponents scored a total of nine goals, and while Inter claimed a clean sheet six, they conceded an average of 0.9 per match times.
Benfica vs Inter Prediction
Benfica Form
Benfica are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Vitoria de Guimaraes by 5-1, before beating Rio Ave by 0-1. The winning streak came to an end against FC Porto, who ran out 1-2 winners. Benfica won five of their last six Champions League matches at the Estadio da Luz, scoring 19 and conceding six along they way. They also drew once as they remained without defeat.
Inter Form
Inter claimed two points from their last three matches. They started by losing 0-1 at the hands of Fiorentina, before drawing 1-1 with Juventus. They secured a point in their latest encounter, a 1-1 draw against Salernitana. Inter won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Champions League. The scoreline from these matches says seven goals conceded and six scored.
With Benfica in relatively good shape these days, we aim for the home win, when they take on Inter. The value lies with the former, with form a little too dubious for the visitors.
