Benfica failed to qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League directly, for this reason, the Lisbon team had to play the clash with Monaco. In the first match away the Eagles achieved a minimal advantage 1:0, which was the decisive event, as the return in Lisbon ended in a productive draw 3:3.
After the game with Monaco, the team played two matches. In the Portuguese Cup the Lions beat Braga on their own field with a minimal 1:0 advantage, the winning goal was scored by Pavlidis. In the last performance in the Primera, their rival was Boavista, in the 23rd round the club did not meet the resistance of the opponent and defeated him with a score of 3:0. In the Portuguese championship Benfica still goes on the second line, but the gap from the neighboring Sporting reduced to three points.
Barcelona
The team led by Hansi Flick was one of the best in the renewed general stage of the Champions League. In the eight matches held, they won six victories, suffered one defeat and drew once. Barça was second only to Liverpool in points, but was the best in terms of performance - 28 goals in eight appearances (the nearest indicator on goals at Borussia Dortmund - 22).
Barça recently played the first semifinal match of the Spanish Cup with Atletico Madrid, which turned out to be an extravaganza. Four goals from each team and a 4:4 draw. It is noteworthy that at the beginning of the game they conceded with a difference of two goals, then took the advantage of two goals, but missed the victory. And the last opponent of Barça in La Liga was Sociedad, a confident victory with four unanswered goals. Following the results of the previous weekend, Barcelona are leading in the Spanish championship, ahead of Atletico by one point and Real Madrid by three.

Expert Betting Tips
Both clubs are in great shape, Barcelona in general shows almost the most attractive and spectacular soccer in the European top leagues. Now the status of the personal meeting is much more serious, if we remember the last face-to-face match, which ended in a 5:4 victory for the guests. Such a result should not be expected in Lisbon, the rivals will act more cautiously. But in terms of the outcome, we again expect a victory for Barcelona, which is the favorite in this pairing and one of the main contenders for the Champions League trophy.
