Benfica take on Real Sociedad at Estadio da Luz, where a thrilling match is hopefully on the cards on Tuesday. It is one of sixteen matches in round three of the group stage of the Champions League this season.
After the second round of the group stage Benfica are number four on zero points, while Real Sociedad have four points as number one.
Benfica show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 22 goals on average per match in this tournament. That makes a total of 22 goals, whilst they allowed 15 goals against, for an average of 1.5 per outing. They pulled off one clean sheet.
Real Sociedad travel to their next Champions League match, averaging a lowly 0.8 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament. They scored a disappointing total of eight goals, while also conceding 11. That amounts to an average of 1.1 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring four times.
Benfica vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Benfica Form
Benfica have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat FC Porto by 1-0. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 1-0 against Inter, before claiming three points in a 0-1 win against Estoril. Benfica claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Champions League. They also drew one and lost two, as they scored 12 and conceded nine goals.
Real Sociedad Form
Their past three matches saw Real Sociedad beating Salzburg 0-2, losing 2-1 against Atletico Madrid, and beating Mallorca by 1-0. In their last six away matches in the Champions League, Real Sociedad won twice, while also recording zero draws. They endured four defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and five scored.
This particular encounter between Benfica and Real Sociedad looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win this coming Tuesday.
