Benfica vs Man United – Featured Picks

This Wednesday at a stage where they present a very different morality from one another.

Benfica is in the phase of the season so far.

The revolt against Rui Vitoria does not stop and the supporters already go so far as to invade assemblies.

Something already habitual and recurrent when things do not go well. In the championship they are behind Porto and Sporting and in the cup they obtained thanks to a goal of Gabriel to beat the Olhanense to breathe a little relief.

Despite the bad phase Benfica have everything to get up and fight to the end in the domestic competitions.

He is a champion, has depth in the squad and also has surely better team than other 15 of the championship (the other 2 depends on the tastes and ways of seeing) so there is no excuse to re-join the rivals, who are not even that far.

But the worst is in the champions. The team in Europe in 2 games scored 0 points against 2 teams which, in addition to being inferior, are in their worst phase in terms of squad in recent years.

In addition they lost 1 of the home games against the Russians and were still thrashed and completely humiliated in Basel.

What this means is that with a very favorable combination of results Benfica can even pass with 6 points but it would be almost impossible.

So you have to earn points for United and I can only do it at home, and at a great cost.

United already fight for their championship, apparently, and it is quiet in the 2nd place of the championship and in 1st in this group of the champions, with only victories.

The team continues to play buses in difficult games and basically as it has been proven this does little, since in the last 30 points played against top-5 teams in England they have only achieved 5 points.

And there was again a very ugly game last weekend in the draw at Anfield. Now focused on the champions, United only has to think about winning.

In case you win you can pass the 2nd lap and rest worry about the championship as you have already scored 9 points and will still have 2 games at home, and the only move will be in the field of the theoretically weaker team, Basel.

Note that United this time tied for 2 times but won all other games and over is not only a constant as it happens mainly thanks to themselves since they rarely suffer goals and 6 times scored at least 4 goals in the game.

To mention also the ride that was the United before Basel and CSKA applying them 3-0 and 1-4 without any opposition.

Despite several bad games Benfica at home always ends up scoring. United’s away from home did not always win but never lost and just did not score at Anfield because he did not even try.

What I expect of this game, besides the two teams to score, is that United are already on their way to the round of 16. I do not see quality or ability of Benfica to win United and sincerely at this stage the focus should already be worrying about the Europa League.

I do not believe that Mourinho misses the opportunity to focus on the championship only for a few weeks.
Prognosis Benfica vs Manchester United:

In addition Mourinho made a point of referring in the preview that knows everything that Vitoria can do, which in fact is not difficult, which knowing as I know Vitoria has already left with an extra pressure on and already lost as to the game.

Manchester will continue with multi-goal games and this will be another one of them, and you will not lose. So my bet is that Manchester will not lose, adding to it at least 2 goals in the match.
