Benfica - D. Zagreb Prediction, Picks and Tips
Return of the eighth-finals of the Europa League, Benfica-Dinamo Zagreb at the Estadio Da Luz. We are going for the classification of Benfica for the next round of UEL. The result of the first leg is not favorable to the Portuguese, they fell 1-0. Everything indicates that Benfica must come back if they want to be in the quarterfinals.
This result against Dinamo is a small blip in the dynamics of the Lisbon team. After winning the Portuguese Classic at Porto 1-2, I personally thought that the mood and desire to win after winning a classic would take them to win at home Dinamo. But the good dynamic, too, that Dinamo had (with 3 defeats in their last 20 games) helped them to take this first round. I think there is nothing decided. A 1-0 in the first round of the second round can be deceptive for the team that starts with an advantage. However, a goal that fits Benfica would force them to score 3. As locals, the Portuguese have not lost a match since 1-3 vs Porto, more than a month and a half ago. Since then, 3 wins, one draw and another victory in the league to continue being leaders with 2 points over Porto.
For its part, Dinamo must improve the status of visitor. Only 1 win in its last 7 starts show its weak point. They won 0-2 at Zapresic's home, team that goes 8th to 4 points of the descent and that as a local has only achieved 8 points out of 33 possible (24.24%). I think that Benfica should come out with everything and show that it is one of the great teams in Europe and a candidate to be among the top 8 in the Europa League.
