BENFICA
The Eagles are looking to bounce back after a 1-0 setback to Chaves, but overcoming Inter in Milan will be difficult. The forthcoming match is likely to be fiercely contested, and given all of the circumstances, betting on a draw appears to be a viable option.
On the plus side, the club has gone undefeated in their past seven Champions League away games (excluding qualifiers). However, their failure to win any of their previous four meetings with Inter, including a 4-3 UEFA Cup loss to the Nerazzurri at San Siro in 2004, makes the task more difficult. The Eagles are hoping to turn the tide and make a comeback.
