Benfica go up against Salzburg on Wednesday in a game played out at Estadio da Luz. This is their first outing this season in the group stage of the Champions League.

In their last six Champions League home matches, Benfica won four times. They've drawn once and lost once, while scoring 15 and conceding seven goals.

Salzburg are winless in their last six away games in the Champions League, in which they drew two and lost four. They conceded 16 goals while scoring four themselves.

Before their upcoming Champions League match, Benfica are performing great numbers when it comes to goals scored. In the past ten outings in this tournament, they achieved an average of 2.6 goals per game or a fine total of 26 goals in all. They let 13 slip in, which creates an average of 1.3 goals conceded per game. During this run, they fought their way to two clean sheets.

Salzburg are currently not the most scoring team in the Champions League, as they only found the back of the net eight times in ten matches in this tournament. This is an average of just 0.8 a game in which they conceded 18 times, an average of 1.8 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring twice.

Benfica vs Salzburg Prediction

Benfica Form

Benfica are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 2-3 win against Gil Vicente. They went on to beat Vitoria de Guimaraes by 4-0, before also getting the better of Vizela in a 1-2 victory.

Salzburg Form

Salzburg look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last three matches saw them gaining seven points. They ran out 1-2 and 2-0 winners against Wolfsberger AC and Rapid Wien, respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Sturm Graz, who claimed a point in a 2-2 draw.

We fully expect Benfica to claim a win against Salzburg, but we believe the visitors have enough resistance in them to minimize the expected defeat.
