This UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and Benfica will be held at Barca's home ground and this match will be very encouraging for us. Now we should observe the first leg match between these two teams a little because based on the results of this match, we will be able to put one team ahead. Barcelona Football Club is leading by a one-nil margin in the first leg of the Champions League match between these two teams, it's fine that Benfica couldn't score in the first leg. Besides maybe no one wants to take the risk of betting on this match, so most people would instinctively think it would be reasonable to bet on Barcelona.
In the first leg, Barcelona could not score more goals and only being able to score 1 goal was a very, very normal thing. In fact, for me, Barcelona's victory in the first leg is proof of the difference in strength between Benfica and Barcelona. We know that Barcelona in the first leg almost played with only 10 players. And only for the first 22 minutes we saw Barcelona playing with 11 players. But from the 22nd minute until the end we knew that Barcelona only relied on 10 players after Pau Cubarsi received a red card. but what is truly extraordinary is that Barcelona was still able to win by relying on only 10 players. So now I will not hesitate to favor Barcelona in the match against Benfica today. I even suspect that Barcelona will score more than 1 goal in this match.
Yes, that's right. Barcelona in the first leg was very lucky to win even though they had to play with 10 players since the first half. Well, in this match, besides having an aggregate advantage, Barcelona also got another advantage because they could rest longer because in last week's La Liga match they failed to compete against Osasuna because it was postponed. In addition, Barcelona is currently in a positive trend, from their last 16 matches they are undefeated and they also got 3 clean sheets in their last 4 home matches, this shows how strong Barcelona's defense is at the moment.
So I also have a prediction like you, in this match Barcelona will win with a score of more than 2 goals, considering Barcelona's recent performance has been very impressive and in the first leg even though they lost players it did not make them weak, instead they were able to win. Of course this is a good capital to face the second leg at home.
