Match result prediction: Real Sociedad to win
Benfica have recorded four consecutive victories away from Estadio De Luz. But they have been unable to record a favourable start in their UCL campaign, losing all of their opening three matches. On the other hand, Real Sociedad have won three of their last four games at Reale Arena. The White and Blues have also defeated Benfica in the reverse fixture in the Champions League this season. Therefore, we back Real Sociedad to find all three points in this game.
Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Benfica have netted the ball nine times in their last five home and away fixtures. However, they have been unable to score a single goal in their three opening games in the Champions League. On the other hand, Real Sociedad scored an average of just one goal per game in their last five fixtures. The White and Blues have also claimed two clean sheets in their last three matches at Reale Arena.
Correct score prediction: 1-0 to Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad have been limited to scoring just one goal in three of their last five matches. The White and Blues have also scored only one goal in two of their three matches in the Champions League this season. On the other hand, Benfica have also restricted their rivals from scoring more than once in their previous two UCL fixtures. Given the current scenario, we predict a narrow victory of 1-0 in favour of Real Sociedad in this encounter.
