PSG vs Benfica – Top Predictions & Free Betting Tips

PSG have drawn back to back games with the latest being a goalless draw against Reims in the French Ligue 1. This comes just days after the 1-1 draw with Benfica in the champions league. Meanwhile, Benfica bounced back from back-to-back draws with a 4-2 success over Rio Ave.

Both teams to score – yes

Benfica have been all of the potent teams going forward in the Portuguese Primeira Liga the season and they have been able to grab a goal in all of the Champions League matches this season. Even though the team has been going through a string of stalemates of late, Benfica are expected to shine through with goals against a PSG team who have only managed two clean sheets in the last five games.

Kylian Mbappe to come up with goals anytime

Kylian Mbappe continues to remain as one of the top scorers for PSG with the four grabbing eight goals in nine games against the team. This is in addition to the return of three goals in as many Champions League matches so far this season. The absence of Lionel Messi places more importance on Kylian Mbappe to come up with the goals and the 23-year-old is unlikely to disappoint in this match.
