Benfica had an unstable start to the season, but eventually found their form and started to secure victories. The team had a series of four victories and is in excellent emotional shape. It’s worth noting that the “Eagles” have already won a trophy the Portuguese Super Cup. Now the players will try to start successfully on the international stage. They have a fairly good attacking potential but are not always disciplined in defense. “Benfica” will definitely try to turn the advantage of their home stadium into real dividends. Roger Schmidt’s charges will attack from the very beginning, pressing their opponents’ territory. Under such pressure, the opponent may crumble. The “Eagles” have often demonstrated that they have a killer instinct.
Salzburg has also been somewhat unstable during the current season. In their last ten matches, they only secured seven victories. The team started making mistakes even at the national level, causing serious concerns among fans. Additionally, the “Bulls” are experiencing significant problems with their defensive line. To compensate for this, the players have to attack more. Gerhard Struber’s charges understand very well that their defensive structure is not reliable enough. Therefore, they will have to respond to every opponent’s attack with their counterattacks from the very first minutes. Only in this way can the players hope for a positive result.
