The Benfica manager Roger Schmidt doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match thanks to a fully injury-free group to pick from.
🗞️ Team News: Red Bull Salzburg
Red Bull Salzburg manager Gerhard Struber has to choose a team with limited availability. Fernando (Adductor problems), Bryan Okoh (Hamstring Injury), Mamady Diambou (Fractured Arm), Justin Omoregie (Back trouble), Lukas Wallner (Torn Ankle Ligament), Moussa Kounfolo Yeo (Ankle Injury) and Daouda Guindo (Knee Surgery) can’t be considered.
🧠 Prediction
For this match, we think that Benfica have it within them to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
At the same time, Red Bull Salzburg are also probably going to find it difficult to score but we do fancy them scoring.
We reckon that it will be a controlled 3-1 margin for Benfica when the full-time whistle blows.
