Benfica to Win
If you take their stunning pre-season form into account, Benfica have won nine games on the bounce since early July and they looked just as formidable in their four competitive fixtures as they did in their five friendly bouts. Competing in Lodz, Poland on Wednesday, Benfica don’t have any tricky home advantage to overcome against Dinamo Kiev and the Portuguese giants should be able to turn their slick football into yet another positive result in this week’s first leg.
Goncalo Ramos to Score Anytime
21-year-old hotshot Goncalo Ramos is gearing up for a real breakout season for Benfica and the young striker has already netted four goals in as many games this term. Ramos notched a superb hattrick for Benfica when they ousted Danish club Midtjylland in the previous round of the Champions League qualifiers and the in-demand forward has the ability to get his name in lights again when he leads the line in Lodz on Wednesday.
