📰 Team News: Benfica

David Neres (Meniscus injury), Juan Bernat (Adductor injury) and Alexander Bah (Foot injury) won’t be available for Benfica gaffer Roger Schmidt.

In our view, Benfica will probably use a 4-2-3-1 formation and select Anatolii Trubin, Fredrik Aursnes, Antonio Silva, Nicolas Otamendi, Morato, Florentino Luis, Joao Neves, Angel Di Maria, Rafa Silva, Joao Mario and Casper Tengstedt.

🗞️ Team News: Inter Milan

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has to currently contend with reduced team options. Denzel Dumfries (Muscle fatigue), Alessandro Bastoni (Calf injury) and Benjamin Pavard (Patellar tendon dislocation) are not able to play.

We’re of the thinking that Nerazzurri seem most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 system, giving starts to Emil Audero, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, Davide Frattesi, Kristjan Asllani, Davy Klaassen, Carlos Augusto, Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez.

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Inter Milan and Benfica could well cancel each other out, with goals at a real premium.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a game with minimal goal-scoring opportunities. That’s why we have predicted a very even match with a 0-0 score by the conclusion of this game.
