THE PREDICTION
Benfica are firmly in the driving seat of this tie after their 0-2 first-leg victory in Bruges, and given how strong they have been on home turf this season, it seems highly unlikely that they will let that aggregate lead slip. The Portuguese side haven’t lost a competitive match at Estadio da Luz since May last year, while Club Bruges come into this fixture having won just two of their last 14 competitive games. Benfica are in fine form right now, and having conceded just once in their last four games in all competitions, another win to nil looks on the cards for Roger Schmidt’s men.
