Prediction: 2-2
Benfica
PSV will be looking to overcome a one-goal deficit in the tie against Benfica when the two teams face each other at Philips Stadion on Tuesday evening. Gakpo scored an important away goal in the 2-1 loss at Estadio da Luz, with the talented forward helping PSV keep their Champions League group stages hopes alive. Since the Dutch outfit are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that they will find a net in Tuesday’s football game.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the second leg. Haris Seferovic has been struggling with injury, and he is likely to miss the game. Nunes and Vertonghen are out of contention with injuries as well. As for the home side, Ledezma should be the only absentee. Anyhow, we believe that both teams will find the net in the return leg as PSV need to adopt an attack-minded approach this time out.
