Benfica are a good side with a good manager and some very
talented players. Underestimating them should be the last thing LFC
does, fans alike.
LFC's away form in Europe has been good. Coming into this fixture,
they have kept 3 clean sheets against 3 decent teams. If they can
keep it tight at the back again, then LFC will have every chance to
bring home a positive result.
It will be a close affair for sure. If LFC can nick in the first
goal, that would force Benfica to push up, leaving gaps for the
strikers to exploit. The 1st goal will be very important in this
fixture.
Verdict
Benfica 1 Liverpool 3
