Betting tips for Benfica VS Galatasaray 21.02.2019
It continues in great moment this Benfica of Bruno Lage. In all, there are already 11 games that the new technician has made at the service of the eagles, and the balance could hardly be better. They are 10 wins and 1 defeat, this was a game in the League Cup, and in a game with controversial cases that ended up contributing to this outcome. The way Benfica looks for the goal permanently, but also the improvement in defensive capacity, brings a Benfica much more competitive, and even authoritarian, of great time.
The games at the Estádio da Luz have shown a very ambitious side, and Rio Ave (4-2), Boavista (5-1) and Nacional (10-0) have all demonstrated their hunger for goals. The Eagles come from a further categorical triumph in the field of Desportivo das Aves, (0-3) that allows him to return to 1 point of the leader FC Porto. Thus, it will be another game that raises the confidence for this encounter of the Europa League, but that also continues to attest to the good moment that the team crosses. Sálvio was injured in Istanbul and will have a stoppage of approximately four weeks, so it will be a major absence for this meeting.
Galatasaray had already shown their weaknesses against FC Porto, losing both games, first at Estádio do Dragão (1-0), then at Istanbul (2-3). It has shown itself to be a short team, defensively permeable, and some talent that has in front of attack, as a rule, has not arrived to be a highly competitive team at this level. That was once again evident in the game with Benfica.
If in normal conditions this Galatasaray has proved to be unreliable, in this game you may still feel more difficult, since you have to take more risk, running behind the loss. This factor could be decisive for the Benfica team to be able to put a stone in the tie, or maybe even win again.
The quality between both teams was evident in the first leg. Benfica are a much more solid defensive team than the Turkish side, and that is the first advantage. But also in terms of game dynamics, and in the strength of its collective Benfica proved superior. If we add the excellent moment of form of the attack incarnated, and still the factor home, Benfica have everything to continue in this Europa League, and until we can win again this Galatasaray. However, there is a great expectation to understand how Bruno Lage will approach the game, being able to return that Benfica of the first games, more prudent and betting more in the attack to the depth. If that happens, the game will naturally have a tendency to have fewer goals, but with Benfica able to take advantage of the space that the Turkish team will concede.
