Benfica vs. Inter Milan Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Benfica vs. Inter Milan

Meeting for the fourth time in 2023, Benfica and Inter Milan clash at the Estadio da Luz in the Champions League on Wednesday. Similar to last season’s quarter-final, Benfica enters this match already eliminated, while Inter has secured their place in the knockout stage.

However, the importance of group positions remains significant for both teams.

Although progression is out of reach, Benfica aims to conclude a challenging group campaign by securing a Europa League spot, avoiding the fate of being the sole team with zero points. Alongside Royal Antwerp, Benfica is yet to earn a point after four defeats in the group stage.

With a 2-0 home defeat to Red Bull Salzburg on matchday one, Benfica faces the challenge of improving their result this week and subsequently beating the Austrians on matchday six to secure third place.

Notably, their European struggles stand in stark contrast to their impressive domestic form, where they currently lead the standings, notably defeating Sporting Lisbon in their recent fierce derby.

What to remember – Benfica vs. Inter Milan

Benfica’s challenging campaign may persist as they encounter an Inter side in stellar form. Despite a strong start domestically, Benfica has struggled on the continent, notably in the reverse fixture where Inter displayed dominance despite the narrow scoreline. A repetition of such a performance is likely to result in a similar outcome in this encounter.
