Following a narrow 1-0 win over Monaco in the first leg of the Champions League knockout phases, Benfica are in pole position to qualify for the next round as both teams go head-to-head again on Tuesday night at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica.
The home side built on their success in midweek with another victory at the weekend, as they defeated Santa Clara 1-0 in the Primeira Liga. Benfica have now recorded five wins in a row in all competitions and look certain to progress to the round-of-16 based on their current form.
Monaco, on the other hand, responded with an emphatic 7-1 win over Nantes at the weekend, which ended their two-game losing streak.
Benfica - Monaco Betting Tips: Benfica to Win
Benfica defeated Monaco 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League knockout phases and are heading into this game on the back of five consecutive wins in all competitions. Monaco have also won just once in their last ten away matches, with Benfica winning back-to-back Champions League games against Juventus and Monaco. The visitors’ away record has been appalling in the last few months, therefore we find Benfica clear favourites to win and go through to the next round.
