Prediction: 1-0
Inter
Estadio da Luz will host a highly-anticipated Champions League game between Benfica and Inter. The Eagles have been impressive in the elite competition this season, and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Even though experienced centre-back Nicolas Otamendi serves a one-game ban, home win should be considered as the Primeira Liga leaders have turned their Estadio da Luz into a real fortress. Both Julian Draxler and Mihailo Ristic are sidelined with injuries.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous six games in all competitions. Important midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu misses out with a thigh problem, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Benfica. Towering defender Milan Skriniar is yet another absentee in the visiting team. When the two teams met in the Europa League last 16 back in 2004 Inter eliminated Benfica, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

Alex Grimaldo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Portuguese side Benfica as a left back. Born in Valencia on September 20, 1995, Grimaldo started his youth career at his hometown club FC Valencia, but in 2008 Barcelona scouts brought him to Camp Nou.

The Benfica defender has two caps for Spain U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a left winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Inter):
Internazionale Milano, known as Internazionale, Inter or Inter named Milan, is a football club from Italy, founded on March 9, 1908 by a number of "rebels" who did not like in the regulations of the Milan Cricket and Football Club, now known as AC Milan. The main objection was that no foreign players were allowed. In 1928 the club merged with US Milanese and strongly entered a time when Ambrosiana-Inter survived.
The club, nicknamed the Nerazzurri or the blue / blacks has had many successes. This is how Inter Milan won 18 national titles, seven times the Italian Cup, the UEFA Cup 3x, and 3x times the Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup I.
