Benfica Standard Liège betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be for Benfica to win and the existence of some goals. Looking at the squads of the two teams, it is possible to notice that Jorge Jesus' players have an advantage compared to the opponent. On the other hand, Standard Liège, in spite of the absences, should try to score at least one point and for this reason they should risk a lot on the counterattack. Taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the ‘’Victory of Benfica and Over 2.5 goals" market in this game is a good option.
