Benfica vs Midtjylland

Benfica last season was a different team in the Champions League, and their own league they were awful but in the Champions League they were legit and had an amazing campaign but this season Benfica is aiming for more, to win the league title and to make the Champions League again and for that they need to win their eliminations and the 1st step to that is beating Midtjylland. Benfica made some changes, not only in some good players but also the Coaching staff is all new and with Coach Roger Schmidt we already are starting to see some differences this season, Benfica team pressures way more and play an much faster pace what I like and even Benfica has only played friendly games so far they won all their 5 games against Reading, Nice, Fulham, Girona and Newcastle and showed amazing signs in those games, especially in the attack and the high intensity that they play and also looking sharp on set pieces plays where they were awful last season. For this game Benfica is without Joao Victor and Ristic what is not a big deal.

Midtjylland has already started their season, in the league they won 1 of their 3 games and in their last elimination round for the Champions League they tied both games 1:1 against AEK Larnaca and beating them in the 2nd leg via penalty kicks with a bit of luck, since the two penaltys that AEK Larnaca missed both of them hit the post, however, in those two games we saw Midjylland dominating the game at home but struggled on the road, we can say that AEK Larnaca was the better team in that 2nd leg and if they struggled like that against them I believe they will have major problems against this Benfica team on the road. However, one good news for Midjylland is that Sisto is back, their best players who was suspended from the team however even with him they had a hard time against AEK Larnaca in the 2nd half of the game.

Benfica's 1st goal of the season is to make the Champions League group stage because of the money and prestige and so far I really liked what I saw from this Benfica team under their new Coach Roger Schmidt, great pressure, high intensity and creating tons of scoring chances, they still have some issues to take care of those chances because even they scored many goals they also missed some goals in those friendly's too but overall I believe that this Benfica team right now looks sharp and ready to perform well against this Midtjylland team and I expect them to beat them by at least 2 goals difference, I can see this game end in a 3:0 or 3:1 win for Benfica, so take Benfica -1.5 here if you guys have the chance to bet on that market.

Good Luck

上个赛季的本菲卡在欧冠联赛中是一支不同的球队，他们自己的联赛很糟糕，但在欧冠联赛中他们是正规的，他们有一个令人惊叹的赛季，但本赛季本菲卡的目标更大，赢得联赛冠军，再次进入欧冠，为此他们需要赢得淘汰，而第一步就是击败米德日兰。本菲卡做出了一些改变，不仅是一些优秀的球员，而且教练组也都是新的，在罗杰·施密特教练的带领下，我们本赛季已经开始看到一些不同，本菲卡队的压力更大，踢出了我喜欢的更快的节奏，甚至本菲卡到目前为止只打了友谊赛，他们赢了雷丁、尼斯、富勒姆、赫罗纳和纽卡斯尔的5场比赛，在这些比赛中表现出了惊人的迹象。特别是在进攻和高强度的比赛中，他们在定位球上表现得很犀利，而上赛季他们表现得很糟糕。本场比赛本菲卡没有维克托和里斯蒂奇，这没什么大不了的。

米德日兰已经开始了他们的赛季，在联赛中他们赢得了3场比赛中的1场，在欧冠的最后一轮淘汰赛中，他们与拉尔纳卡队的比赛都是1:1，并在第二回合凭借一点运气通过点球击败了他们，因为拉尔纳卡队罚丢的两个点球都击中了门柱，然而，在这两场比赛中，我们看到米德日兰队在主场统治着比赛，但在客场却很挣扎。我们可以说拉尔纳卡是第二回合中更好的球队，如果他们在对阵他们的比赛中也这样挣扎，我相信他们在客场对阵这支本菲卡球队时将会遇到重大问题。然而，对于米德日兰来说，一个好消息是西斯托回来了，他们最好的球员被停赛，但即使有他，他们在下半场对阵拉纳卡的比赛中也很艰难。

本菲卡本赛季的第一个目标是进入欧冠小组赛，因为金钱和声望，到目前为止，我真的很喜欢我在新教练罗杰·施密特的带领下看到的这支本菲卡，巨大的压力，高强度，创造了大量的进球机会，他们仍然有一些问题来处理这些机会，因为即使他们进了很多球，他们也在那些友谊赛中错过了一些球，但总的来说，我相信这支本菲卡球队现在看起来很犀利，准备好了在与这支中部球队的比赛中表现出色，我希望他们至少能以2个进球数的差距击败他们，我可以看到这场比赛以3比0或3比1的比分结束。
