Benfica started the season at a very high level. Jorge Jesus’ team has not suffered a single defeat yet. Having managed to defeat Spartak and PSV in qualifying, the Eagles got into a difficult group with Bayern, Barcelona and Dynamo Kyiv, where they are not favorites. In the first match of the group stage, Benfica scored a goalless draw with Dynamo away. Even this result was achieved with difficulty. In the Portuguese championship, the Eagles are currently occupying the first line in the table. From the main rivals Porto and Sporting, the Eagles have already managed to break away by four points. In the last round Benfica beat Guimaraes with a score 3:1 away without any problems, thus extending the unbeaten streak in all tournaments to 12 matches.
Villarreal got their ticket to the Champions League back in May, when they won the Europa League tournament and did so in a match against today’s opponent. This historic match ended in a draw in regulation time, but the Spaniards were more fortunate in the penalty shootout. Bad luck in the football lottery duel for the UFEA Super Cup, which went to London with Chelsea. The seventh team of the last La Liga championship after seven rounds of the current championship takes only 11th position. The yellow submarine has only one victory and five peaceful outcomes, which brought eight points. In the last game, Unai Emery’s wards shared the tournament points with Real Madrid (0:0). Today Koklen, Raba, Voyt, Chukvuese and Moreno, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to enter the field. More football match prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
