Boca Juniors vs. Benfica Club World Club Prediction
We expect Benfica and Boca Juniors to battle it out for second place in Group C, making the meeting between the two sides on matchday one a pivotal contest in the battle to reach the knockout rounds.
We are predicting a nervy and cagey encounter at Hard Rock Stadium, where we think Benfica will do enough to claim a narrow 2-1 victory. If you’re betting on soccer, you should back them to win this clash.
Boca Juniors vs. Benfica Betting Tips
- 1st Half Benfica ML (+150)
- Benfica Team Total Over 1.5 Goals (-116)
- Vangelis Pavlidis to Score 1+ Goals (+105)
Benfica had a disappointing season, winning only the Taca da Liga, and failing to secure the title in a thrilling finish.
Their business model is working just fine, though, earning excellent money from transfers. Vangelis Pavlidis should be the next big hit for the Eagles, with the Greek netting 29 goals this season, according to the soccer latest news.
This will be a tough game for both units, though we have to give a slight edge to Benfica. They are a quicker and more robust team than Boca, which is also a bit older. Therefore, we expect that the Eagles beat them on quality.
Top 2 Boca Juniors vs. Benfica Betting Picks
1. Benefica ML (-140)
We’re expecting that Boca Juniors might need a bit of good fortune to pick up point/s against this Benfica side that will likely gain the upper hand.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a good tussle with a 2-1 winning margin for Benfica when all is said and done. Our soccer pick is Benfica to win this match.
2. Over 2½ Goals (-115)
Demonstrating their appetite for fruitful encounters, we’ve had goals 20 times in the prior six matches in which Benfica has taken to the field, giving an average of 3.33 goals per meeting. Opposition teams have hit 5 of those goals so expect another high-scoring affair.
