BENFICA – DORTMUND PREDICTION (14.02.2017)

Benfica and Borussia Dortmund open their UEFA Champions League knockout round tie in Lisbon, a cross that the Germans have come up with as favorites after the Portuguese side have lost gas as the season progresses. Two last group stage fixtures in the Champions League, in which he tied against Besiktas (2-2) and fell against Naples (1-2) and as has been evident in the uncompetitive Portuguese League, where their Stumbling of the month of January against Boavista (3-3) and Setubal (1-0) have allowed Porto to get into the fight for the title. Dortmund, although far from Bayern in the Bundesliga, is expected to get a ticket for the Champions League, and in addition to the top continental competition, is still alive in the Cup, where it comes from eliminating Hertha Berlin.

The Portuguese team was unable to win in the last two games of the group stage of the Champions.
Dortmund qualified brilliantly as the first group thanks to a deserved draw at the Bernabeu (2-2).
The Portuguese side have suffered two unexpected setbacks against Boavista (3-3) and Setubal (1-0) in January.
The German box has become one of the ‘fixed’ in the final rounds of the Champions League in recent years and is for many one of the ‘plugged’ in this edition.

Benfica Dortmund betting odds

For the good game that is developing Dortmund and the problems that Benfica has been through in recent weeks, we believe that the German team will not leave defeated the Portuguese capital and will arrive in Germany with a marker that allows him to face the Return with advantage.
