Top 2 Picks for Benfica vs Feyenoord
1. Benfica Handicap
Benfica began the UCL season with a 2-1 road victory over Crvena Zvezda. The Eagles wasted no time and managed to get a two-goal advantage right before the 30-minute mark. Later, the defensive unit took care of things, not allowing the home side to score until the 86th minute.
Most recently, Benfica shocked the online betting soccer-sphere by crushing Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. Once again, the Eagles took an early lead thanks to Kerem Akturkoglu, who scored in the 13th minute. The defense contained Los Colchoneros to the point that they didn’t take a single shot on target.

Including the Portuguese Primeira Liga, Benfica kept a clean sheet in three of its last five games. And they only conceded one goal in the other two games.
As for Feyenoord, the Dutch began the season with a heartbreaking 4-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. However, they bounced back with a 3-2 road victory against Girona. The thing is, the current version of Girona isn’t very good.
Don’t get me wrong, I do expect the White and Reds to put up a good fight in Lisbon, but I also expect Benfica to fulfill its role as the betting favorite with a 3-1 victory in my soccer predictions. That includes a late goal to seal the deal. In the end, we’re talking about a team that only lost one of its last 25 games at home; Feyenoord doesn’t have what it takes to defy that trend.
Bet This Pick: Benfica -1 (-108)

2. Orkun Kokcu Anytime Goalscorer
Benfica is the third top-scoring team in the Primeira Liga with 17 goals but, curiously enough, the Eagles don’t have a player with more than two goals. Vangelis Pavlidis, Florentino Luis, Orkun Kokcu and Kerem Akturkoglu have scored two goals each.
Out of the four, I recommend you include Kokcu in your soccer player prop picks. Why? Because he has scored three goals in Benfica’s last four games, including the two previous UCL matches. As if that weren’t enough, he and the rest of the Eagles will be at 100 percent after not having played last weekend.
Second, Kokcu is offering a +400 price at BetUS sportsbook. On the other hand, Pavlidis is at even odds and Akturkoglu +250. Finally, Luis is a defensive midfielder, which means the other three will have more chances to score.
Here’s a bonus because I also like Angel Di Maria at +200. The veteran is playing great and enjoying the sport once again.
Bet this Pick: Orkun Kokcu Anytime Goalscorer (+400)
