Real Madrid are brimming with confidence in front of goal before the upcoming match in the Champions League, as they show off very handsome numbers from their previous ten games. They scored two on average per match, for a total of 20 goals in this tournament. They also let in 14 goals, leaving an average of 1.4 per match. Furthermore, they fought their way to a clean sheet two times.

Benfica vs Real Madrid Prediction

Benfica Form

Benfica added two wins to their account in their three most recent outings, as they beat Rio Ave by 0-2. Their next match left them empty-handed in a 2-0 defeat against Juventus, followed up by a 4-0 win against Estrela da Amadora. Benfica claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Champions League, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored 11 and conceded 13 goals.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Levante got left behind in a 2-0 win, before Monaco got hammered in a 6-1 victory. Villarreal was the most recent victim in a 0-2 win for Real Madrid. Real Madrid recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six away matches in the Champions League, in which they banged in 16 goals, whilst conceding 12. They recorded no draws but in stead suffered defeat twice.

Benfica fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last zero games against teams inside the top six. They were on target zero times in these matches, but also let in zero goals.

In current form, we favour Real Madrid to claim a win, when they challenge Benfica at Estadio da Luz. We doubt, the home side is able to stop the visitors.
