Goaloo Preview
Benfica and Barcelona meet on the field an average of 2 times per decade. Undoubtedly, all matches took place within the framework of European cup tournaments, specifically the Champions League. The last two meetings, for example, occurred in 2021 when the teams were drawn into the same group. Back then, the Spanish side couldn't win either the home game (0-0) or the away game (0-3), and ultimately finished third in the group stage, moving to the Europa League playoffs.

Goaloo Prediction
According to bookmakers, Barcelona is the favorite for the upcoming clash. However, we dare to suggest that Benfica will not lose. This season, the Portuguese club consistently demonstrates a high level of play, leaving only positive impressions. The "Eagles" rarely suffer defeats, especially on their home turf, where they have recorded only three unsuccessful results. Even Atlético Madrid, who flew to Portugal for the second round of the Champions League, was completely outplayed (4-0). Moreover, Barcelona is far from its optimal form. If at the start of the season they were dominating everyone in their path, now they struggle even with home support against Las Palmas (1-2) and Leganes (0-1). We believe that the upcoming match will end with a score of 2-2.

Pick:  Benfica Lisbon will not lose
