Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Benfica?
Benfica’s current season has pleased all of its fans. The Lisbon team is the isolated leader of the Portuguese championship and is one step away from advancing to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
In the first leg against Brugge, Benfica won 2-0, with goals from João Mário and David Neres scored in the second half.
Playing at home, and in front of their fans, Benfica has great chances of advancing, mainly due to the qualified squad they have, with players of the caliber of Rafa Silva, Gonçalo Ramos, and João Mário.
The Portuguese team dreams of reaching the semifinals and, for that, they need to leave Brugge behind and visualize a victory against Porto or Inter, possible opponents in the quarterfinals.
Why Bet on Brugge?
Brugge qualified 2nd in Group B of the Champions League, achieving 11 points out of a possible 18. Behind only Porto, Brugge won three matches, leaving Bayern Leverkusen and Atlético Madrid behind.
In the Belgian national league, Brugge appears only in 4th place, with 12 wins in 28 games. In the first game against Benfica, even playing at home, Brugge was unable to impose its rhythm and suffered with the opponent’s goals in the second half.
Strikers Ferran Jutglà and Kamal Sowah have both scored two goals in the current edition of the Champions League and will be essential in Brugge’s difficult mission to reverse the score against Benfica in Portugal.
