Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips
Onto Group E and this group has already been virtually decided with just Ajax and Bayern Munich fighting it out to decide who finishes top of the group, while Benfica take on AEK in a dead rubber as the betting tips continue on match day 6 of the Champions League.
Third placed Benfica have already cemented a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League and cannot be caught by visitors AEK as we head off to the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica in Lisbon for this final group match.
Benfica have managed just the one win from their five group matches so far in this campaign which happened to be a 3-2 win away at tonight’s opponents, AEK Athens, along with a point against Ajax in a 1-1 draw at home.
Therefore, Benfica’s limited success in these group games have been registered at home and I’m expecting this to continue against AEK on Wednesday night. Midfielders Pizzi (4 goals) and Silva (5 goals) have supported the forwards Jonas and Seferovic (4 goals apiece).
AEK Athens sit bottom of Group E without a single point to their name after having suffered five defeats on the trot in what has been a nightmare campaign for the Greek side. the visitors have been on the end of home and away defeats to Ajax and Bayern Munich and I fancy they’ll do well to avoid a total whitewash when they make their way to Lisbon for this final match.
4 of AEK’s 5 defeats were to nil, while away from home, they’ve managed to record just two away wins from their last 17 matches on their travels. Within this appalling sequence of results, AEK have also failed to score in 10 of these 17 matches.
The betting tips therefore predict an easy win for Benfica here.
Pick: Benfica AH-1 @ 1.62 Bet Victor
