Liverpool gave it their all but were not able to produce a favourable result as they had to come from behind twice to draw against league leaders Manchester City. However, not all is lost as 7 matches still remain in the season and Liverpool will look to turn their focus elsewhere as they host Benfica in the second leg of the Champions league quarter final on Wednesday. They may have a 2 goal advantage but a lot of focus will still be needed from the players as they look to hold Benfica down.
Our betting predictions for Liverpool vs Benfica match are:
Liverpool vs Benfica Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Benfica may have lost the first leg but they have been in great attacking form and have scored in 19 consecutive matches before this game. We expect them to get 10 or more shots in this match at odds of 2.20. (betway)
Mohammed Salah will be very difficult to stop looking at the form that he is in. Betting on him to get 2 or more shots on target at odds of 1.61 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Luis Diaz will be expected to start this match after being rested against Manchester City. He scored in the reverse fixture as well and betting on him to score again at odds of 2.50 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Liverpool have been dominant this season and very few teams have been able to get past them. Betting on Liverpool to win and the game to have more than 10.5 corners at odds of 3.00 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Darwin Nunez has been the man in form with 5 goals and 12 shots in his last 3 games. We expect him to get 2 or more shots on target in this match at odds of 3.50. (betway)
Win/Lose/Draw
A lot is on stake in this match as the winners will go to the semi finals of the biggest tournament in Europe. However, Liverpool have a comfortable 2 goal lead and with the experience that they have in this competition, we expect them to take advantage of Benfica’s desperation and win the match at odds of 1.28. (bet365)
Bet During the Match
If Diogo Jota starts the match, betting on him to get 2 or more shots on target at current odds of 1.75 (betway) can be a good bet to make during the match.
