Match Preview
Benfica host Nice in a crucial Champions League fixture at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on Tuesday, 12 August, with kickoff set for 20:00. The Portuguese side comes into the match in strong form, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches, including three consecutive wins. In contrast, Nice has struggled recently, managing only two wins in their last five outings, which raises questions about their confidence heading into this encounter. A notable trend in their head-to-head meetings is Benfica's dominance, winning two of the last three matchups, with only one victory for Nice. Additionally, with Benfica's solid defensive record—evidenced by their clean sheets in four of their last five games—this match could see limited goal-scoring opportunities. The odds suggest a likelihood of a low-scoring affair, with over 2.5 goals priced at 1.5. Bettors might consider backing Benfica to win while keeping an eye on the possibility of a low-scoring match, as both teams have shown contrasting form leading up to this pivotal clash.
