RB Salzburg vs Benfica Preview & Prediction
Having made the quarter-finals last season, Benfica have been bitterly disappointing in the Champions League this campaign. Having failed to win any of their five group stage matches, Roger Schmidt’s side need to win by three goals to secure third place and drop into the Europa League.
In the league, however, Benfica are unbeaten since August. They sit third in Liga Portugal with 30 points after 13 games, a point behind both FC Porto and Sporting CP.
As it stands, Salzburg are top of the Austrian Bundesliga, with 39 points after 17 matches. This tally falls below the standards they have become accustomed to over the past decade.
Salzburg won the reverse fixture 2-0 in Portugal, with goals from Roko Simic and Oscar Gloukh. A draw here is enough for them to drop into the Europa League, in which they reached the semi-finals in 2018.
Prediction: RB Salzburg 2-1 Benfica
RB Salzburg vs Benfica Betting Tips
- RB Salzburg to win @ 9/5
- Oscar Gloukh to score @ 21/10
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 11/4
RB Salzburg vs Benfica Betting Tip 1: RB Salzburg to win @ 9/5
Benfica’s slight drop in form domestically, coupled with their less-than-impressive away performances in Europe, will inspire Salzburg here.
A swift early lead could potentially dent the morale of Benfica, a team in need of a three-goal margin victory to overtake their opponents and secure a Europa League spot.
RB Salzburg vs Benfica Betting Tip 2: Oscar Gloukh to score @ 21/10
Oscar Gloukh has displayed promising form for Salzburg in the past few weeks, registering goals in two out of the last four matches.
The Israeli 19-year-old scored in the reverse fixture against Benfica, and his price of 21/10 to score on Tuesday is too good to ignore.
