Real Madrid and Benfica meet for the third time this season in the second leg of their Champions League play-off on Wednesday, with the tie finely poised at 1-0 to the hosts.
Benfica won 4-2 in Lisbon when these sides met in the league phase but Real took some revenge with a narrow victory in the first leg. Los Blancos will be looking to finish the job with a win on Wednesday in the first meeting between these two clubs in Madrid, while Benfica know only a win will do if they are to continue their Champions League campaign.
We’ve got the game covered in our dedicated Match Predictions section and now I’ve put together this 15/1 Champions League Bet Builder tip with four player bets, which you can back with Paddy Power below.
Back Our 15/1 Real Madrid vs Benfica Bet Builder Here
Kylian Mbappe To Have 3+ Shots On Target
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is averaging over five shots per-game in the Champions League and exactly three per-game on target. In the first leg, he recorded two attempts on target from five shots in total and should be able to improve on those numbers in the Spanish capital.
Rafa To Be Fouled 2+ Times
Rafa has been fouled nine times in total in five Portuguese league games since rejoining Benfica from Besiktas. The 32-year-old was fouled twice in the first leg and could find himself on the receiving end of at least two infringements on Wednesday.
Arda Guler To Have 1+ Shots On Target
Arda Guler impressed in the Los Blancos midfield in the first leg with four shots in total, two of which were on target. Guler averages just under two shots per-game in this competition and exactly one per-game on target, he should be able to at least test the visiting keeper once.
Samuel Dahl To Commit 2+ Fouls
Benfica defender Samuel Dahl has committed one foul in each of his three away appearances in Europe and could finish with two in Madrid. The Portuguese big guns will come under intense pressure at regular intervals in Spain and Benfica have to try and win this clash outright, so they have to take a few more risks and that may lead to an increased foul rate.
