Chelsea v Benfica Bet Builder Tip
Chelsea vs Benfica Predictions
- Chelsea to win
- Alejandro Garnacho 1+ shots on target
- Vangelis Pavlidis 1+ shots on target
- Moises Caicedo to be booked
Chelsea vs Benfica Winner Prediction
I’m backing Chelsea to get back to winning ways on Tuesday evening as they welcome Benfica to Stamford Bridge. They have one just one of their last five, a 1-2 win over Lincoln in the Carabao Cup. However, they have played well at points in those games, and I think they’ll have too much quality for Benfica and come out on top in this one.
Chelsea vs Benfica Shots on Target Predictions
We’ve gone for two players to have one or more shots on target – Alejandro Garnacho of Chelsea and Benfica’s Vangelis Pavlidis. Garnacho had a shot on target in that opening CL defeat to Bayern Munich, and Chelsea will create a lot of chances here. I think he will have at least one shot on target. Pavlidis, Benfica’s centre forward, has scored five goals in his seven league appearances this season, with one goal in five Champions League matches. He averages over two shots on target in the league, and I think he has a great chance of having one or more here.
Chelsea vs Benfica Player to be Carded Prediction
I’m backing Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo to pick up a booking here. He has been carded once in his six Premier League appearances so far this season. Last season, he was booked 11 times in the league. This won’t be an easy game for Chelsea, and with his style of play, he should make a couple of fouls. He’s good odds to pick up his first Champions League card of the season.
