Benfica Lisbon v PSG Betting Tips [5 October 2022]

Benfica will play host to PSG in the next round of the UEFA Champions League as the two teams in great shape face off in Group H. Benfica are second in the group, only because they’ve scored fewer goals than PSG, but both sides are on six points. Benfica are coming from a 0-0 draw with Vitoria Guimaraes, the first time they’ve failed to win a game this season. They’ve played 14 matches so far, and won 13. Coming into this game, they have four clean sheets in the last five matches and only failed to score in that draw with Guimaraes. In three of their last five matches, they’ve scored two or more goals.

PSG are coming from another win in Ligue 1, a competition they’ve dominated over the years and will be looking to extend their own unbeaten start to the season here. They’ve played 12 matches so far this season and are unbeaten. However, they need to improve on their performance in defence, having managed just two clean sheets in the last five games. PSG have scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches and come into this game having won each of their last seven matches. They’ve also won each of their last seven away matches, but not in the Champions League. The French side has only one away win in their last six away matches in the Champions League and in three of the last four, they’ve conceded two or more goals.

Both PSG and Benfica are enjoying good runs; they have won a lot coming into this game and haven’t had trouble in attack. We expect the same performance in attack in this game. Benfica will have home advantage here. They face a side that has a single away win in six Champions League matches, and we will back them to carry the day.
