Salzburg vs Benfica Prediction
Salzburg Form
Salzburg should be high on confidence, as their last three matches saw them gain seven points. They started off drawing 0-0 with Real Sociedad, before beating first Wolfsberger AC by 1-0, then Rapid Wien in a 0-1 win. Salzburg only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Red Bull Arena in the Champions League. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded seven goals.
Benfica Form
In their previous three matches, Benfica drew 3-3 with Inter, 0-0 with Moreirense and 1-1 with Farense. Benfica claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Champions League. The scoreline from these matches reads nine goals conceded and 13 scored.
Salzburg and Benfica looks like an equal pairing, and since it's difficult to separate one from the other currently, we wouldn't be surprised by a draw.
