Juventus are still in the race to reach the play-off round of the Champions League via automatic qualification, but must beat Benfica on Wednesday evening, who are not yet safe and could drop out of the play-in round.
The home side are currently just one point behind eighth-placed Leverkusen and could still finish in the top eight with a win in their final group game and favourable results in their other matches. A draw potentially would be enough for Benfica to progress to the next round.
Juventus - Benfica Betting Tips: Under 2.5 Total Goals
Juventus go into this game on the back of their first Serie A defeat of the season, having lost 2-1 to league leaders Napoli at the weekend. They have won just once in their last seven games in all competitions and only once in their last five Champions League games, failing to score in three of them.
Benfica, who suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Barcelona a week ago, were unable to recover at the weekend and also lost to Casa Pia in the Primeira Liga. They have also won just once in their last five Champions League games, so we expect a low-scoring game.

Three reasons we expect Under 2.5 Total Goals
- There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Juventus’ last 5 Champions League matches
- Juventus have only conceded 2 goals in the Champions League home matches this season
- A draw is expected to be enough for Benfica to secure their place in the Champions League play-in round, therefore they could set-up more defensively
