Inter vs Benfica – Preview, and Prediction
Inter vs Benfica – Six months after their two meetings, Inter Milan and Benfica square off in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal.
This time, they engaged in a crucial match in the Group D second round because neither team was able to steal a victory on the first day of play.
Benfica’s 0–2 loss to Salzburg at Estadio da Luz two weeks ago was most likely the biggest upset in the first round of the 2023–24 UCL season.
Antonio Silva’s early red card, which came 13 minutes into the game, was the primary cause of the loss. Despite having more opportunities than their opponents on the day, Benfica was unable to secure a victory.
Several days later, Roger Schmidt’s team recovered with a decisive 1-0 victory over FC Porto, their primary domestic rivals.
Having won six of the first seven rounds of the Primeira Liga, Benfica is currently the only team leading the rankings.
With a same record, Inter Milan leads the Serie A standings as well, but following a terrible 1-2 loss to Sassuolo at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza six days ago, they are no longer in isolation.
The attacking performances his team has put on recently can’t be all that satisfying for head coach Simone Inzaghi, and it will be fascinating to watch how the players respond against a formidable opponent on Tuesday.
Inter vs Benfica – Betting Analysis
Thanks to a 0-2 victory in the first leg at Estadio da Luz, Inter Milan advanced from the Champions League quarterfinal from the previous season 5-3 on aggregate.
Back in the 2003–04 season, Inter Milan prevailed 4–3 on aggregate when the two teams met in the UEFA Cup’s fourth round.
We are not at all impressed with Inter Milan’s recent performances, and we believe Benfica has a good chance of winning on Tuesday in Milan.
