Benfica Monaco betting prediction

This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Ligue 1, they got a home win against Nantes by (7‑1). In the last 4 UEFA Champions League away matches Monaco has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 27 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 18 out of 27 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 9 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Monaco come into this match on the back of a great 7-1 win over Nantes in Ligue 1: the team's goals were scored by George Ilenikhena (2), Mika Biereth (3), Takumi Minamino and Eliesse Ben Seghir. It's worth noting that the Monegasques lost 0-1 to Benfica in the first leg of this stage of the Champions League. The visiting team should line up in a 4-3-3 tactical formation, with Eliesse Ben Seghir, Maghnes Akliouche and Mika Biereth leading the attack. The team will tend to exploit the left flank, taking advantage of Krepin Diatta's depth and ability to get things off balance. Suspended for the game are Christian Mawissa, Denis Zakaria, Moatasem Al-Musrati and Vanderson, as well as Aleksandr Golovin, Wilfried Singo, George Ilenikhena and Folarin Balogun, who are all out with fitness problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Radosław Majecki, Christian Mawissa Elebi, Wilfried Stephane Singo, Thilo Kehrer, Caio Henrique, Maghnes Akliouche, Lamine Camara, Krépin Diatta, Eliesse Ben Seghir, Takumi Minamino, Breel Embolo.
Coach: K. Schmidt.
