S.L. Benfica vs SSC Napoli Prediction 29 November 2023

In the fifth round of the Champions League, Benfica will try to avoid another shame in the home match with Inter.

Surprisingly, in the previous four meetings of the group stage, Benfica suffered four defeats from Salzburg (0:2), Inter (0:1) and Real Sociedad (0:1, 1:3), which is why they lost all chances of a third in a row reaching the playoffs. This looks especially wild in contrast to the national league, where the Eagles are in the lead and manage with virtually no point losses.

Inter are also actively fighting for the Scudetto, which, however, doesn’t prevent them from performing well in the Champions League. After games with Real Sociedad (1:1), Benfica (1:0) and Salzburg (2:1, 1:0), the Nerazzurri scored 10 points with goal statistics of 5:2 and were in second position.

Considering the fact of reaching the playoffs and the away status of the match, Inter's chances of success are not that high. We think that the Italians are unlikely to leave the pitch without scoring a goal, but Benfica are pursuing exactly the same goal.
