Tip: Draw Result: Win for Benfica

Impressively in the autumn, Club Brugge lost just once and kept a clean sheet in the remaining five matches, twice against Atletico Madrid. The match today will also be the debut for the Belgian champion in the eliminations of the Champions League. Benfica, in turn, beat Juventus twice and did not give in to PSG, overtaking them in the final standings.
However, it has been a long time since Bruges' impressive results in the tournament, and in eight of nine official meetings after the World Cup, the Belgian champions failed to win, although they only lost to the leader Genk. At that time, Benfica was confidently marching towards a championship title from the Portuguese elite. The Eagles are racking up win after win and now have a five-point lead at the top over Porto. In the middle of last week, however, the Eagles were eliminated from the Portuguese Cup tournament. It is difficult to find a statistic that favors today's host. Brugge's form is poor while Benfica are performing well. In the Champions League, the "Eagles" have not lost away from home since August 2021, or as many as eight matches, five of which were won. Also, the Lisbon giants have lost just once in their last thirteen matches against opponents from Belgium.
I expect a draw.
