SL Benfica
The Eagles are in excellent shape so far into the season. They are the first-placed team in Liga Portugal with a score of 23 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. After the fantastic winning streak of 10 consecutive victories, unfortunately, Benfica lost the derby match in the league against FC Porto by 1:2. However, Benfica is still 7 points ahead of their biggest rival.
So this evening the Portuguese squad will absolutely bring their best on the pitch in order to win this 1st leg duel against Inter, aware that it’s going to be much more difficult in the rematch in Italy.
Inter Milan
The Nerazzurri are struggling to finish in the top 4 in Serie A. So far they have managed to win 16 games in the league, followed by 3 draws, and 10 defeats. With a total of 51 points, currently, they are the 5th placed team in the league. But right now Inter is not in a good rhythm. Their last victory was against Lecce with a final score of 2:0. After this match, Inter lost 3 Serie A games in a row against Spezia (2:1), Juventus (0:1), and Fiorentina (0:1). And last Friday they performed a tied match against Salernitana with a final score of 1:1.
So tonight Inter must do some significant adjustments in order to outscore the hosting squad of Benfica.
