Benfica vs Fenerbahçe Preview and Team News
Benfica Team News
Despite being left with 10 men in the 71st minute, Benfica managed to survive a scare and secure a 0-0 draw against Fenerbahçe in the first leg of the CL qualifiers. It was a physical clash, and neither side had an advantage, which eventually prevailed in the ultimate score.
Domestically, the Portuguese giants are doing well, with six points after two rounds. They’ve yet to concede a goal and with a game in hand, Bruno Lage’s team are one of the major favourites to claim the trophy.
In the upcoming match, Benfica will be without Manu, Bruma, and Alexander Bah. Florentino is also out, as he was sent off after receiving two yellow cards.
Benfica predicted lineup vs Fenerbahçe (4-3-3): Trubin; Dahl, Otamendi, Silva, Dedic; Barreiro, Barrenechea, Rios; Akturkoglu, Pavlidis, Aursnes.
Fenerbahçe Team News
Fenerbahçe had the chance to capitalize on their man advantage, but none of their attempts managed to break the deadlock. This leaves them in a tough situation, as playing in Portugal isn’t an easy task even for stronger teams.
In the Turkish Super Lig, Fenerbahçe sit seventh with four points from two rounds. Recently, they defeated Kocaelispor 3-1, and Jose Mourinho’s side are set to battle with formidable Galatasaray for the title.
Mert Yandas, Cenk Tosun, and Brazilian Rodrigo Becao have been sidelined with injuries. We also expect Anderson Talisca to appear in the starting lineup, as he came on actively from the bench in the first encounter.
Fenerbahçe predicted lineup vs Benfica (3-4-1-2): Egribayat; Semedo, Skriniar, Soyuncu; Aydin, Yuksek, Fred, Brown; Talisca; En Nesyri, Duran.

Benfica vs Fenerbahçe Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Benfica to Win
- Odds: -159 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Benfica 2-0 Fenerbahçe
After securing a desired result, Benfica head into the meeting as favourites. Lacking Florentino in the midfield is alarming, but on home soil, the Portuguese should be fully motivated.
The clubs have met eight times, with Benfica winning four, losing two, and drawing two. They’ve also gone unbeaten against Fenerbahçe since 2013 and will look to extend that positive streak.
The Turkish side missed their chance to win, and it’s hard to see them overcoming Benfica’s barrier here. It should be a close contest, but the hosts look best positioned to claim a hard victory.
Benfica vs Fenerbahçe Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -103 (Tonybet)
As is typical for Mourinho, his men are unlikely to attack recklessly and will rather wait for the opponents’ mistakes. The Lisbon club can’t risk either, so we expect another clash filled with fouls.
Three of their last four head-to-heads have ended with fewer than three goals. Moreover, five of Benfica’s previous six games have also gone under that mark.
We don’t see this match producing a lot of goals. There will be action and intensity, but in the final stage of the qualifiers, both sides should be more careful.
