Prediction for the UEFA Champions League Benfica vs Salzburg match which will take place on September 20th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After losing to Boavista in the first round of the Portuguese top flight, Benfica went on to win their next four matches. The reigning Portuguese champions scored twice at home to Estrele (2:0). They defeated Vitoria Guimaraes 4:0. The Eagles were more convincing on the road against Gil Vicente (3:2) and Vizela (2:1). Benfica is fourth in the standings, one point behind Porto, Sporting, and Boavista.

Last weekend, the team failed to continue their winning streak in the Austrian Bundesliga. Their opponents in the seventh round were Sturm, who scored two goals each and did not show their best. After seven matches, Salzburg is at the top of the Austrian standings, two points ahead of Graz.

Benfica will have the advantage, with the Lisbon side traditionally performing well in front of their fans. It will be a high-scoring game, with Salzburg making things as difficult as possible for the hosts, but they are unlikely to pick up any points in the Portuguese capital.
