Dortmund vs Benfica Prediction & Betting tips
On the night of Wednesday to Thursday (01:00 clock German time) Borussia Dortmund already denies his third and last game of the International Champions Cup (ICC). For Benfica, on the other hand, it will be the first game. Venue is the Heinz Field in Pittsburg.
During the week, in addition to the athletic performance and the upcoming departure of Andre Schürrle caused a lot of sensation. The sports management told him that you no longer plan with him. Then Schürrle flew back to Germany. That Schürrle would have a hard time under new coach Lucien Favre was an open secret. Therefore, the news per se was not surprising. The timing and location of the conversation, however, was somewhat questionable. Whether that affects the betting odds and thus our tip for the match between Dortmund and Benfica is more likely to be answered with no, as Schürrle has not been used so far.
Dortmund:
Borussia Dortmund won the first two matches of the ICC. With quite convincing performances, BVB attracted attention. That Favre, as well as all the other coaches, the ICC more than a kind of training session under competitive conditions handles, should still be obvious.
It was used in every game the full exchange Kontigent. However, this should not be nice to the performance in a special way, as well as Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp made use of this method. The bottom line, however, was a 1-0 win over Manchester City and a 3-1 win against Liverpool FC. So it can rightly be said that the black and yellow are a hot candidate for the ICC title.
Benfica Lisbon:
While BVB will play its last competitive game with the ICC against Benfica, Benfica is just beginning to play for Benfica. The previous Testspielbilanz looks promising. Just recently, Benfica won 1-0 against the prediction of betting odds against Sevilla FC. A bet on Benfica would have had a quota of 3.0 in this game. The Chilean and new signing Nicolas Castillo provided the winning goal.
Before that Benfica parted in another friendly against Vitoria Setubal 1-1. The first test match of the new season Benfica won against Napredak from Serbia 3-0. Again Castillo contributed a decisive goal to the early 1-0 at.
Even though all the opponents did not meet the highest standards, there is a clear trend. Benfica will not be easy opponents for BVB. The vice-champion from Portugal has quite the playful potential to keep up. To what extent Rui Vitoria will spare their regular employees or exhaust exchange passports is uncertain.
