Benfica - Barcelona Betting Tips: Both Teams to Score
Benfica and Barcelona met in the group stage just over a month ago. The match developed into a thrilling thriller that ended 5-4 in favour of Barcelona, with both teams proving their attack-minded nature and ability to score goals. Benfica are unbeaten in their last three Champions League matches, while Barcelona have the same record, albeit away from home. We expect both teams to score because they simply have too much talent in attack.
