Benfica vs PSG Prediction: Will the Parisians Keep Their Lead in the Group?

Prediction for the UCL Benfica vs PSG group stage match, which will take place on October 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Lisbon club made an excellent start to the group stage, winning two matches in a row. First, Roger Schmidt's team expectedly handled Maccabi from Haifa 2:0 at home. Then, largely unexpectedly, they beat Juventus away - 2:1. Thus, the Portuguese are second only to PSG in Group H and may become the sole leaders of the quartet in a head-to-head encounter.

In the Portuguese championship, Benfica also performs better than decent. After playing in a nil-nil draw with Victoria Guimaraes in the previous round, the Eagles lost points for the first time in eight tours. Benfica has seven wins in eight games and is at the top of the standings.

At the start of the season, the Messi-Mbappé-Neymar trio is, as expected, working wonders. On the eve of the trip to Lisbon, PSG won seven games. They have lost only once, sealing a 1:1 tie with Monaco, winning eight out of nine matches in the French championship, beating Nantes in the Super Cup, and starting with two wins in the Champions League group. In the major European tournament, the Parisians handled Juventus at home (2:0), then confidently defeated Maccabi Haifa (3:1).

In the previous game, PSG outplayed Nice in the Ligue 1. Messi and Mbappe scored - 2:1.

The opponents had twice met in European competitions, and both meetings ended with Benfica winning 2:1. But then PSG was different. The Parisian club looks good, as one of the leading contenders to win the current Champions League. The Portuguese will not beat the Parisians at home for the first time. Although the Eagles certainly can cause problems to PSG without giving up.

Prediction: PSG will be closer to victory is not the most productive game.
