Prediction: 3-1
Benfica
After outplaying Benfica in Lisbon a week ago, Liverpool will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when the two teams face each other at Anfield on Wednesday. The Reds did well to hold Man City to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League derby, and, no doubt, they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Benfica. Jurgen Klopp has no fresh injury worries, but both Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate are pushing for a start.
The Eagles, on the other hand, continue to rely on Darwin Nunez, who scored a hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Belenenses at the weekend. Nelson Verissimo’s troops, though, will have a much bigger fish to fry at Anfield as Liverpool are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Both Lucas Verissimo and Rodrigo Pinho should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Sadio Mané):
Sadio Mane is a Senegalese footballer who plays for Liverpool as a winger. Mane was born in Sedhiou Senegal on April 10, 1992, but he made his senior debut at French club Metz. In 2012 he moved to Red Bull Salzburg, with the pacey winger scoring 31 goals in 63 appearances for the club in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Mane then decided to take a step forward in his career as he joined famous Premier League club Liverpool for a fee of £34 million, signing a five-year contract with the Reds. The Senegal international quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Liverpool and, no doubt, he helped the Anfield outfit make it to the 2017/2018 Champions League final.
Speaking of trophies, Sadio Mane won the Austrian Bundesliga with Salzburg in the 2013/2014 season. In 2017 he was named Liverpool player of the year for the 2016/2017 season. Sadio Mane made his Senegal debut in 2012 and he was part of the Senegal team that participated at the 2012 Olympic tournament.
