THE KEY STATS
THE PREDICTION
It has been a truly miserable Champions League campaign for Benfica across the 2023-24 season, losing four of their five Group D fixtures with their only point so far coming against a heavily rotated Inter Milan side most recently. Even that result was bittersweet after last year’s finalists came back from three goals down to draw 3-3 in Lisbon. Salzburg got the better of Benfica by two goals to nil in the reverse fixture and motivation for them is high with home advantage and a place in the Europa League at stake. Back Gerhard Struber’s side to once again get the better of the Portuguese champions.
TIP: SALZBURG TO WIN
