Benfica vs Nice Prediction & Betting tips
The Estádio da Luz in Lisbon will host tonight at 10:00 PM the confrontation between Benfica and Nice, a match that is part of the second leg of the 3rd round of the UEFA Champions League. The two teams have met three times so far, two friendly matches and one official match, the one in the round, and all three matches were won by Benfica, the team that is the big favorite to qualify for the play-offs, where they would face the winner of Feyenoord and Fenerbahce, the round match ending with the victory of Feyenoord, score 2-1.
Benfica:
enfica finished last season in 2nd place in Portugal and we can say that they lost the title in the last two rounds, when they drew at home with the champion Sporting, score 1-1 and ended with the same score in the last round with Braga. The difference between Sporting and Benfica being only two points at the end. Benfica postponed their match in the first round of the new season in Portugal, being focused on this return match with Nice which does not promise to be an easy one despite the 2-0 victory in the round. In the next match, Benfica will play away against Estrela in the second round in Portugal.
Nice:
On the other hand, Nice finished the season in 4th place in the standings and was one step away from taking 3rd place which would have qualified them directly in the UEFA Champions League group, but it is equally true that Nice could have missed out on 4th place in favor of Lille with whom they finished the season in a draw, both having accumulated 40 points. Nice has not started the season either, the only official match so far being the one against Benfica in the round, lost 2-0. If they miss out on qualifying for the Champions League play-offs, Nice will play in the Europa League play-offs with the loser of Feyenoord and Fenerbahce.
