Benfica-Barcelona is a match of the seventh day of the Champions League and is played on Tuesday at 9 pm: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
With a win on Benfica’s pitch, but a draw could also suffice since Barcelona is currently second, behind Liverpool, in the overall Champions League standings, Flick’s men would be certain to get through this first phase without having to go through, afterwards from the playoffs. And it would be a very important result inside a calendar congested by multiple commitments.
Sure, not easy against Benfica of the great former Angel Di Maria. A team in form, the Lusitanian one, which has ten points in the standings and dreams, precisely, of also finishing in the top eight. We don’t know if they will succeed, certainly on Tuesday night this team will try to sell its skin dearly. And it will try to put in trouble a team that behind it is not that has done very well over the past few weeks. While up front, the Catalans, remain really devastating and they showed it, especially, in the match against Real Madrid in the Super Cup final.
Having said that, and going to analyze what have been the precedents between these two teams, a particular fact comes up, one that is also unexpected. Benfica and Barcelona throughout their history have faced each other eight times. And the balance tilts, albeit slightly, toward the Spanish team. But this is not the statistic that jumps out at you: in the eight confrontations mentioned earlier, only on one occasion has this challenge seen both of them score. Obviously strange, since both are clubs traditionally devoted to attack, which, however, is nullified when they cross paths. Instead, we believe that, this time, it may end precisely differently.
