Benfica v FC Barcelona : Champions League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Tue 21st Jan, 20:00 BST, Estádio da Luz, Lisbon

Hans-Dieter Flick takes his FC Barcelona charges to the Estádio da Luz in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with Roger Schmidt's Benfica waiting for them. We've got bespoke statistics for all of the main betting markets, from both teams to score to double chance, including form and historical head-to-head data. Predictions are generated from these, and the odds come straight from the UK's biggest bookmakers.

Want to know who’s consistently beating the odds? Check out the Top Champions League Tipsters and see the most profitable experts for this season!

If you’re keen on betting across various leagues and markets, our Live Bets page showcases active accumulator bets and real-time tips.

Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As you can see, our prediction for Tuesday's fixture is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Benfica and Barcelona to score 3 goals or more between them during the regulation 90 mins. 2 goals or less would mean it's a losing tip but, with statistics below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think it could well be a winner.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 47% chance of Barcelona coming away with a win.
