Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips

Benfica performed well in their first leg away in Munich last week as they reduced the German champions Bayern Munich to a slender 1-goal advantage going into Wednesday night’s second leg in Lisbon with a place in the semi-finals still very much in the balance.

However, Benfica’s recent results in this competition have been mixed as they’ve gathered wins over Zenit St Petersburg both home and away in the previous round, but have also suffered defeats to Atletico Madrid (2-1 at home back in December) and away at Bayern Munich last week.

During this campaign, Benfica have notched home wins over Astana, Galatasaray and Zenit but they face a very strong German outfit tonight who have the bit between their teeth (and a valuable 1-0 lead), and looking for a semi-final berth.

Visitors Bayern Munich achieved what they were aiming for last week as they take a 1-0 lead to Portugal with them for the second leg in Lisbon, although I daresay the Germans would have liked a bit more breathing space.

Nevertheless, Bayern have now gone six Champions League matches without a defeat and this run includes grinding out results against some of Europe’s elite clubs such as Arsenal, Olympiakos and Juventus.

Away from home, Bayern have managed just three wins on the road in their last nine but I fancy they’ll be out to play their normal game this evening to secure their place in the semi-finals and not allow Benfica back in with a shout.
