Psg-Benfica is a match for Week 4 of the Champions League: live TV, streaming, likely line-ups, predictions
PSG – BENFICA | Tuesday 21:00
Two draws in a row for PSG: the first was last week in Portugal; the second against Reims in the league. In a nutshell, it is not a very happy moment for the team coached by Galtier, who also lost Messi to a calf problem: the Pulce, in Tuesday night’s match, to which Juventus, engaged in late afternoon at Maccabi Haifa, look with great interest, will not be there. And given what he was managing to do, it is no small absence. Well, that shouldn’t change the feeling on the eve of the match: Psg are still favourites and, in the end, despite the Argentine’s absence, they should be able to take the three points that would almost put an end to the qualification discourse.
Benfica showed their quality not only by winning in Turin against Juventus, but also by stopping the French side’s run to the round of 16 at home. A surely unexpected result that raised the self-esteem within the Portuguese team. Who also won last weekend in the league without any problems, confirming all the good things that have been written. But from here, however, to think that the Lusitanians can return home with a positive result from the trip to Paris is a long way off. Indeed, in the end, and despite everything we have told you, Psg should be able to win.

The Prediction
Without Messi it’s a problem. But not so much. The Argentine’s place will be taken by Sarabia, who will compose the offensive trident together with Mbappé and Neymar. A match that, in short, Psg should win. A match that should also give them at least three goals in total, which should break through in the first half of the game.
Psg-Benfica’s likely line-up
- PSG (3-4-3): Donnarumma; Ramos, Marquinhos, Danilo; Hakimi, Verratti, Vitinha, Bernat; Sarabia, Mbappé, Neymar.
- BENFICA (4-2-3-1): Vlachodimos; Bah, Otamendi, António Silva, Grimaldo; Florentino, Fernández; Diogo Gonçalves, Rafa Silva, João Mário; Gonçalo Ramos.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 3-1
