Benfica vs PSV Prediction & Tips
Benfica and Psv Eindhoven compete for the first leg of the final qualifying round of the Champions League. Both teams are in splendid form, the Lusitanians in Europe have swept Spartak Moscow away with a double 2-0 and in the league they have started with two wins. A clear path also for PSV who started the season with four wins: 5-1 and 2-1 with Galtasaray and 3-0 and 1-0 with Midtjilland, won the Dutch Super Cup 4-0 with the Ajax and made his league debut with a 2-0 away against Heracles. The teams are confident even if the coaches have to face some absence, among the Lusitanian fulori Vertonghen and in doubt Seferovic, among the Dutch Ledezma should not make it.
Benfica have won all the official matches played this season by conceding just one goal
The Lusitanian home side have won both previous matches against PSV
Benfinca hasn’t lost between the walls since April 17, 2-1 against Gil Vicente
Two teams in great shape compete for the passage to the Champions League groups. Benfica-PSV Eindhoven is certainly the most interesting match on the board and making a prediction is certainly not easy. We are betting on the victory of the hosts, and therefore on the “1” first of all because the odds are high enough and then because the Lusitanians cannot help but win if they hope to go through. The feat in the Netherlands seems almost impossible given that PSV have always won this season and have not conceded a goal in four games. The level of the two squads is very high, but for us Benfica has a better pool of players also because, it must be said, the Eagles have spent a lot of money for at least two market sessions. It was only during this summer that Joao Mario, who already managed the midfield, and Yaremchuk, who scored on his debut, and the Belgian defender Vertonghen arrived, but at the moment he is injured. Investments that follow those of the recent past including that for the Brazilian talent Verissimo. Completely opposite is the management of the PSV which sells the jewels and replaces them with the talents of the nursery. In the last few weeks Malen and Dumfries have started, but for now the backlash has not been mainly thanks to the very young winger Madueke, who has already three goals and an assist in 5 games. It will be necessary to understand whether the transfers will not affect even against high-level teams. Benfica therefore have more experience and a squad, at least in terms of better names, and then have the advantage of playing at home. This is why we are aiming for “1” for a match not to be missed.
