Ligue 1’s AS Monaco have suffered three defeats in their last four Champions League matches, which left them 17th in the overall standings. Scoring was an issue for them in the opening round of the competition, managing just 13 goals while conceding the same number.
Mika Biereth’s arrival in January may aid their attacking issues, as the striker was brought in from Sturm Graz. The added threat could be much-needed, as Summer signing Folarin Balogun remains out with a shoulder injury. Wilfried Singo is also a doubt to return from a hamstring injury on Wednesday. However, Lamina Camara might be fit enough for a place back on the bench.
AS Monaco predicted lineup vs Benfica (4-4-2): Majecki; Vanderson, Kehrer, Mawissa, Henrique; Akliouche, Zakaria, Magassa, Minamino; Biereth, Embolo.
Benfica finished the opening round of the competition just above AS Monaco in the standings, but due to their superior goal difference, they will have the home-field advantage in the return leg.
The Portuguese side’s recent European form would still be a concern after only winning once in their previous three matches. But they boast an excellent xG in away games, registering an average of 1.71 and netting 2.33 goals per event.
In January, Vitoria made a big-money move to sign Manu Silva, while attackers Bruma and Andrea Belotti added more firepower in the final third. However, Jan-Niklas Beste’s departure could leave them short on defence.
These issues will be heightened following the news that Alexander Bah is out. Casper Tengstedt and Tiago Gouveia are unlikely to return from respective shoulder and ankle injuries.
Benfica predicted lineup vs AS Monaco (4-3-3): Trubin; Silva, Araujo, Otamendi, Carreras; Aursnes, Silva, Kökçü; Aktürkoğlu, Pavlidis, Schjelderup.
Bet hereA chance could be taken on the away victory when making an AS Monaco vs Benfica prediction this week. The Portuguese squad have been excellent on the road this season, scoring an average of 2.33 goals per game from an xG of 1.71. Meanwhile, the hosts have kept clean sheets in just 27% of their encounters on home soil.
Their cases are certainly strengthened due to Benfica having already recorded a win over AS Monaco this season. Furthermore, the visitors have kept clean sheets in two of their previous three matches against the Liga 1 club.
Considering that AS Monaco have failed to score in two of their last three events against Benfica, both teams’ lack of scoring could be a solid selection this week.
The chances of that happening are aided by the hosts only keeping clean sheets in 27% of their home games. Meanwhile, the guests have kept shutouts in 50% of their away matches this season.
