Betting tips for Benfica vs AEK Athens FC 11.12.2018

Benfica takes off from this edition of the Champions League at the Estádio da Luz. The incarnates already have their "destiny traced" and will continue their European route in the Europa League. So, it remains to close this last round trying to reach the victory that always brings prestige and also a good financial reward. He receives the AEK which proved the most fragile team label of this group E. For the Greeks, the only doubt will be whether or not they finish this stage with or without points.

Benfica fell again in the group stage, and this season with opponents who, in theory, would be within their reach, such as Ajax and AEK. However, direct confrontation with the Dutch was fatal to the eagles. In the match in Amsterdam, Benfica lost even at the drop of the cloth, and in the Stadium of Light Benfica did not get better than a draw to a goal.

Thus, the incarnates add only 4 points, which is very little to see Ajax with 11 and Bayern with 13. Rui Vitória approached this game and will make some changes, taking into account the future commitments, to accomplish. Even though Benfica even has some players usually substitute, the quality is a lot, as are the cases of João Félix, Gabriel, Yuri Ribeiro, among others.

Another very important issue is the importance of the eagles staying on the winning track, since the recovery that the team has done after the "episode" Rui Vitória is still tenuous. Benfica will have a good test here to prove they have quality on their squad.

Champions LeagueThe AEK proved to be a "team apart" in this group E, but because of the fragility it presents. The Greeks add up by defeats all 5 games, so the expectation will be to see if they can score. Without fighting for anything, the AEK has to try to win the game prize and of course the prestige of the competition.

In the game in Athens Benfica's superiority was evident, but the Benfica players themselves complicated the game, and the result of (2-3) was not commensurate with the ascendant Benfica had in the first half.

On the other hand, they lacked the experience of the Greeks at this level, as well as the inferior quality to work with the other teams. It has in the Stadium of Light the opportunity, before a Benfica with a few second lines, of being able to score in this group E.



Players like João Felix, Gabriel, or even Castillo in case they come to play have the ideal game here to show service, especially since they will not have pressure, but the quality is there, so it will be natural for them to appear and play a good game. Benfica have a lot of quality people, there is an important financial gap on the table, so I think the conditions are right for Benfica to add another good win.

The AEK will try to score as nothing to lose, so I anticipate a game without pressure for any of the teams, and this may bring a more open and scoring game. The defense of Benfica is still trying to solidify what will not be a misfit to have a goal of the Greek team, and thereby "obliging" the incarnates to make at least more than one goal. With Castillo, Seferovic, Cervi, or João Félix, Benfica have a lot of people who are qualified to score, and I hope they can do it both times. Benfica score goal on both sides of the game is priced at 1.95 and will be my bet for this match.
