Benfica-Feyenoord is a match valid for the third day of the new Champions League. Where to watch it on TV, streaming, lineups and predictions
Two games two victories: one an easy away game at the Red Star’s field, which will be one of the Cinderellas of this new Champions League, the other at home against Atletico Madrid: beautiful, with a four to zero that left no room for stories and comments. In short, Benfica is fine, it is in top form, so much so that it comes to this fixture against the Dutch of Feyenoord with the beauty of 9 useful results in a row and 8 are victories.
Not that Feyenoord is bad, not least because in the Netherlands the visiting team is one of the best: five useful results in a row here, with one defeat and one win in the first two days of the Champions League. A good one, a crucial one, the one away at the Girona ground in the previous round, which put things a little bit on the downward path. But Benfica, we know very well, in terms of technical qualities and experience, is a different matter from the Spanish team.
The official comparisons between these two teams are quite dated, so no reference can be made. The last friendly encounter, however, there was last summer, at the end of July: a clear result for the Lusitanians, who won five to zero. Maybe the same final will not be repeated in the Champions League challenge, but we are convinced that the hosts will manage to take the three points.

It will almost certainly be a routed challenge right from the start, with Benfica trying hard to put the Dutch lineup on the ropes and thus starting on the assault. Match that should give the three points to the hosts in a challenge of at least three goals total.
