Monaco – Benfica. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On November 27, the match of the 5th round of the main round of the Champions League will take place at Louis II, in which Monaco will meet with Benfica. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Monaco

The team played extremely poorly in the season before last, remaining without European cups at all. This was answered by an invitation from Hütter last summer. And Adi achieved, perhaps, the maximum possible result – yes, he did not dislodge PSG from the pedestal, but he took a confident second place with his wards. And, by the way, now everything is going to the point that the best couple in League 1 will stay in their places. This despite the fact that the Monegasques returned to the Champions League. And it could have been better only in Zagreb with the local Dynamo, where they finished 2:2. But at the same time, the French made a sensational start with a victory over Barcelona, ​​even if it quickly remained in the top ten. With Crvena Zvezda and Bologna, they also took the maximum.

Benfica

In 2022, the club called Roger Schmidt. The German’s first season in Lisbon was brilliant: with him, the Eagles won the Premier League and fought for a long time in the Champions League. But in 2023/2024, there was a decline, both in the domestic arena (in a dispute with neighboring Sporting, they finished second), and in the European Cup (they did not leave the group). The specialist was left in his position, but the first failures after the summer vacation became fatal for him. So in the Champions League, the Portuguese started already under Bruno Laje. The red and whites were good in the first rounds, when they beat not only Red Star, but also Atlético, even 4:0. But then they managed to lose 1:3 to Feyenoord at home and did not respond to Bayern’s goal in Munich.

Statistics of personal meetings

Ten years ago, in 2014, the sides played in the group stage of the Champions League. Then, in two matches, the Eagles scored the only goal at home.

Forecast

Bookmakers have more faith in guests. But it seems that they are ready to create problems for themselves. So let’s stop at a neutral total of more than 2.5 goals (coefficient – 1.727).
