Benfica – PSV
18.08.2021
Benfica host PSV at the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier on Wednesday. Both sides have won all their competitive outings so far this season and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Benfica opened their Champions League qualifying campaign in style as they claimed a 4-0 aggregate victory over Russian side Spartak Moscow. Jorge Jesus’ men have won each of their four competitive games this season, scoring eight goals and conceding one. They are also unbeaten in their last nine outings, picking up eight wins and one draw.
Similarly, PSV Eindhoven maintained their 100% record this season when they claimed a 2-0 win over Heracles Almeida in their Eredivisie curtain-raiser. In their Champions League qualifiers, the newly-crowned Johan Cruijj Schaal champions saw off Galatasaray and Midtjylland to set up a mouth-watering final round clash with Benfica.
Considering both sides have a 100% win record so far this season, we expect a draw.
This match will be played on 18/08/2021 at 22:00.
