Benfica have played 10 matches in all competitions this season and have scored in 90% of their matches. The disparity in quality of team at domestic level means they don’t concede regularly but Famalicao, Moreirense, Santa Clara, Gil Vicente and Red Star Belgrade have all scored past them already this season.

Feyenoord have only failed to score against Leverkusen this season and have only kept one clean sheet all season too – against NAC Breda. That’s 9 out of 11 matches where both teams have scored and we think that both sides will notch at least one goal here.

A goal has been scored in both halves in 7/10 Benfica matches this season, including the two previous Champions League games.

In Feyenoord’s 11 matches across all competitions this term, a goal in both halves has been scored on 10 occasions (91% of the time). This leg of the bet builder would’ve won in both of Feyenoord’s previous Champions League games and we’re hoping they go 3/3 here.

6/10 of Benfica’s matches have seen over 2.5 goals and Benfica have reached this tally by themselves on five occasions – Benfica’s matches this season average 3.1 goals per game.

In addition, 7/11 of Feyenoord’s games this season have seen over 2.5 goals scored, backing up this pick even further. Feyenoord have scored over 2 goals on four occasions this season and their matches this season average 4 goals per game to date.

Orkun Kokcu has scored twice in Liga Nos this season and in both of Benfica’s other two Champions League matches, against Red Star Belgrade and Atletico Madrid. In the domestic league, he averages 0.9 shots per 90, while in the two matches played in the Champions League, he averages 1.6 shots per 90.

Kokcu’s threat comes from range in open play but he is also his club’s designated penalty taker. He has taken seven shots with four on target in his last three matches.

In the two previous Champions League matches, against Red Star Belgrade and Atletico Madrid, Aursnes committed two fouls and received a yellow card in both matches.

He looks to be playing a more combative role in these matches than he does at domestic level, where his foul numbers are low. This means there’s a discrepancy in his price with 2+ fouls priced generously at 7/2 here, which gives our Level 2 Bet Builder a big boost.

Quinten Timber is Feyenoord’s midfield enforcer. He looks to gain control of the centre of the pitch in an aggressive, front-footed manner.

Timber has committed eight fouls in his last five matches, including two in his last Champions League game against Girona. Timber has already been booked twice in eight Eredivisie appearances this season and will be in and amongst the action here.

As mentioned, both Benfica and Feyenoord’s matches this season have a high average goals per game game, this is down not only to both sides playing teams of inferior quality in their domestic leagues, but the fact that both sides are better offensively than defensively.

Benfica’s matches this season have an average of 3.1 goals per game with Feyenoord’s even greater at 4 goals per game as previously referenced. This pick looks very strong here.

Pavlidis has had a shot on target in all of his Benfica appearances so far this term. He averages 1.1 shots on target per 90 at domestic level and 1.8 shots on target per 90 in the previous two Champions League matches, against Red Star Belgrade and Atletico Madrid.

In two Champions League matches so far this season, he has averaged 3.6 shots per 90 with 2.2 shots per 90 in Liga Nos. All we need is for him to direct one effort on target for this pick to come in.
