Benfica vs Club Brugge preview
Benfica
The Portuguese team will be looking to get their ticket among the eight best teams in Europe when they face Club Brugge at Estádio da Luz.
Benfica took almost a decisive step forward towards the quarterfinals by defeating their opponents 0-2 in Belgium, and a collapse seems the only way the Portuguese don’t make it to the next round.
The hosts, who could reach the Champions League quarterfinals in back-to-back campaigns for the first time in their history, are comfortably leading the Portuguese league with 62 points, eight clear of second-placed Porto.
Club Brugge
Meanwhile, the visitors who have very little to lose against the Portuguese giants, will try to record an upset for the ages.
However, the team hasn’t looked good lately, winning only one of their last six games across all competitions.
Brugge, sitting fourth in the league with 46 points, is out of contention for the title, since leaders Genk have 21 more points. They have only won three of their last 14 top-flight games.
Benfica vs Club Brugge: prediction
Despite losing 3-0 to Oostende last time out, three successive clean sheets on the road in the Champions League and a 4-0 win over Porto during the group stage could make Scott Parker’s men dream. However, Benfica looked very solid in the group stage, and have only lost one out of 20 games in the Portuguese league.
Prediction: Benfica 2-0 Club Brugge
