Level 1 Bet Builder Tip
🚩 Over 3.5 Barcelona Corners
📈 Odds: 1.22
Barcelona average just under six corners per game, with a slight dip when playing away to five per game. However, their European performances strengthen the case for this bet, as they average 5.13 corners per game in the Champions League, hitting at least four in six of their 8 matches.
Although their away average in Europe is exactly four corners per game, their last visit to Benfica saw them rack up six corners, proving their ability to reach this mark. Additionally, Benfica have conceded over four corners in seven of their ten European games, including three of their five home fixtures.
🎯 Barcelona to have 5+ Shots on Target
📈 Odds: 1.25
Barcelona lead both La Liga and the Champions League in attacking dominance. They average 6.73 shots on target per away game across all competitions, hitting over five shots on target in 18 of their 22 away matches. Their European average is even more formidable, sitting at seven shots on target per match, with over seven in six of their eight UCL games.
While Benfica’s defence is compact, conceding an average of 2.29 shots on target domestically—this number rises to 4.9 against top-quality European opposition. Given that Barcelona registered 11 shots on target in their last meeting, this bet looks solid.
🩹 Lamine Yamal to be Fouled 2+ Times 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.50
At just 17, Lamine Yamal is already a major attacking threat, using his agility, pace and trickery to draw frequent fouls from defenders. He wins 2.14 fouls per 90 minutes and has been fouled over two times in seven of his last ten games, including three times in the previous meeting against Benfica. Benfica’s entire left flank—including later highlighted, Carreras—has been particularly aggressive, committing 19 fouls in their last six matches. This trend suggests Yamal will be a magnet for fouls once again.
🎯 Vangelis Pavlidis to have 1+ Shots on Target 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.44
Pavlidis has been Benfica’s most prolific attacker, scoring 18 goals this season. He averages 1.6 shots on target per game, hitting the target in his last seven consecutive starts.
His performances in European competition are even more impressive, averaging 2.1 shots on target per 90 minutes and registering over two shots on target in five of his last 6 UCL appearances. He also thrives in big matches, having scored a hat-trick against Barcelona in their earlier encounter.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip
🟨 Over 1.5 Benfica Cards
📈 Odds: 1.25
Despite being the second-most disciplined team in Liga Portugal, averaging just two cards per game, Benfica’s composure tends to falter under the heightened intensity of European competition. In the Champions League, their card average rises to 2.3 per game, having received two or more cards in eight of their ten UCL matches.
🥅 Both Teams to Score
📈 Odds: 1.36
Benfica boast the second-best attack in Liga Portugal and have scored in their last 15 consecutive matches across all competitions. At home, their scoring consistency is even more impressive, having found the net in 21 of their 22 home games this season.
While Benfica’s defence is the best in their domestic league (0.8 goals conceded per game), they face one of Europe’s most potent attacking forces in Barcelona. Hansi Flick’s side averages 2.7 goals per game in La Liga and an even more lethal 3.5 goals per game in the Champions League. Barcelona have failed to score in only two matches all season—and just once away from home.
However, their defence remains vulnerable on the road, conceding in 17 of their last 22 away games. Their last meeting was a nine-goal thriller (5-4 Barcelona win), emphasising both teams’ attacking prowess and defensive frailties.
⚽🤝 Raphinha to Score or Assist 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.83
Raphinha has been crucial to Barcelona’s attacking success, tallying 24 goals and 18 assists across all competitions. His ability to score or set up teammates has been consistent, delivering a goal contribution in five of his last eight matches (one goal, eight assists).
His direct attacking style makes him particularly dangerous against Benfica, and he already showcased his impact by scoring a brace in their previous meeting. Given his recent form, he’s a strong candidate to either score or assist.
🛑 Alvaro Carreras to Commit 2+ Fouls 🔄
📈 Odds: 2.40
Whether Benfica line up with a back three or four, Álvaro Carreras will be tasked with stopping Lamine Yamal, one of European football’s most dangerous wingers.
Carreras averages 1.24 fouls per game, committing at least one foul in nine of his last ten matches, with two or more in six of these. Notably, he fouled Yamal three times in their previous encounter, struggling to contain the youngster’s speed and dribbling. Yamal, who draws 2.14 fouls per 90 minutes, will undoubtedly put Carreras under pressure again.
