Benfica vs Liverpool

The Reds look like true title contenders this season, and while they battle for Premier League glory domestically, there are other fronts to focus on as ...

With Mane and Salah seeming to struggle under the heavy weight of significant high-leverage minutes for both club and country, Luis Diaz is primed for a big performance. The defense has also been flat out spectacular, giving up just one goal in eight Premier League matches since the start of February, and conceding over 1.0 xG (expected goals) in just two of them. Benfica will be pushing for a surprise result knowing without Champions League play, the season is, for all intents and purposes, over. His presence will be key since he's the man who leads the Premier League — hilariously, from the right back position — in expected assists (xA) at 11.09. That's a whole 2.89 over the next man in Bruno Fernandes. Quite simply, this is one of the most in-form teams in all of Europe. Liverpool is a clear favorite in this match, and understandably so, but the oddsmakers don't count out the chance for a draw with the Reds on the road.

Liverpool travel to Portugal this week to take on Benfica in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

Mohamed Salah is the favourite to open the scoring against Benfica at 11/4 (3.75) and Diogo Jota is the next lowest priced player 3/1 (4.0). Benfica are the outsiders to win the first leg at 15/2 (8.5). Liverpool are the favourites to win the clash in Lisbon at odds of 4/11 (1.36) with bet365.
