Expert Betting Tips

The team led by Hansi Flick is the favorite, but the victory will not be easy for Barcelona, as Benfica itself is fighting for passage to the playoff stage. We expect the teams to exchange strikes, but Barça will play better in attack. The Catalans will break two negative series in the league: a goal drought and three matches without a win against Benfica.
