Benfica – Dortmund Predictions (14.02.2017)
An entertaining match on this day on Tuesday will be played by Benfica and Borussia Dortmund for the 8th finals of the Champions League (one leg).
Benfica
In my opinion, the German box slightly leaves as a favorite due to the greater offensive hierarchy that it possesses. However, if we consider the local factor of the Lusitanians and the interesting attack they have, we advise you to play a few euros to the bet "plus 1.5 goals".
Take into account that Benfica comes well to this duel after beating 3-0 to Tondela and stay in the fight for a new title (first place with 51 points in total). The team is still garish and offensive, having to take precautions to not concede goals and lose the tie from the first leg.
On the other hand do not forget that the lusitano box have added 9 triumphs and 2 equalities in its field by its domestic tournament, standing out by to add 3 consecutive victories in this condition. He has scored 31 goals and conceded 6 on his fence, showing remarkable line cohesion.
Continuing with the analysis you must know that Borussia Dortmund is beaten to this duel after losing 2-1 to Darmstadt as a visitor and being far from the top of the Bundesliga (8 difference with the escort Leipzig and 15 with the leader Dortmund). Despite his setbacks, he is in the fourth position of the general table. Reus and Aubameyang are expected to appear on this exit.
Dortmund
Finally, we can tell you that the Germans have not made good results as visitors in the Bundesliga, with 3 wins, 3 equal and 4 total drops (21 goals in favor and 18 on their fence). Before losing to Darmstadt he had won 1-2 at Werder Bremen and equalized 1-1 against Mainz.
After reviewing the details of this match I play for the "more 1.5 goals" bet because of the following reasons: First because Lusitanos and Germans can alternate ball dominance and goal situations. Therefore, it should not be surprising that it is a relatively open party from the initial pitazo.
Second because Benfica is a picture that usually becomes strong as a local thanks to the support of its public and the hierarchy of its men in attack. And thirdly because Borussia Dortmund is a vertical and vertical squad by nature, being feasible not to speculate in his visit to the stadium Luz. Faced with this reality, we believe that the party can finish 1-1 or 2-0 in favor of any side.
Under 2.5 goals @ 1.85
