Benfica W vs Rosengard W prediction 22.11.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Wednesday, 22nd November 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Benfica Campus (Seixal)

Benfica are the strongest Portuguese team. They have a great season. Benfica were on a brilliant run with 14 wins in a row in all competitions until last week when they lost 5-0 against Barcelona, Champions League champs. After that hard but, for most, expected loss, Benfica won 1-0 on the road versus Braga. After another win, Benfica will have a lot of confidence ahead of the upcoming tie against Rosengard. 

The Swedish league is already finished and Rosengard had a disappointing campaign, as they finished 7th on the table with 45 points from 26 matches. Since ending the domestic league last weekend, Rosengard lost 2-1 at home in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt. Guests had 59% ball possession and 18 shots more than the opponent, so the margin between the teams could be even larger. Now, Rosengard will focus only on the strongest European competition, but this group is probably too hard for them to do something more than win a few points. The game on Wednesday versus Benfica is probably one of the rare games where the Swedish team can pick up points. 

Benfica W vs Rosengard W pick: Over 2.5 goals

Benfica scored 44 goals in the last 12 matches. 11 of those 12 games went over 2.5 goals. On the other hand, Rosengard went over 2.5 goals in every of the previous three games. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
