Benfica vs Inter Preview
Tuesday, April 11th, 20:00 (UK)
Benfica suffered their first home defeat of the season on Friday night. Porto came from a goal behind at Estadio da Luz to earn a surprise win over the league leaders who now lead by seven points with as many games to play.
Simone Inzaghi’s men have had a torrid run of results, they’ve not recorded a victory in their previous six outings which has seen them drop to fifth in the Serie A table. They knocked out Porto in the previous round but Roger Schmidt and his side have been the standout performers in Portugal this campaign and have every chance of progressing further in this competition.
Benfica topped Group H in the final minute of the final game with their sixth goal in Israel as they leapfrogged PSG. Schmidt’s side beat Juventus home and away with 1-1 draws coming against the French giants in each matchday.
The Inter defence will have their work cut out in Lisbon, no side has prevented Benfica from finding the back of the net at home this season. Joao Mario and Goncalo Ramos are the two danger men, they’ve bagged 17 a piece in Liga Portugal with a combined nine in the Champions League. Joao Mario has got himself on the scoresheet in five successive games in this competition.

It’s tricky to see the hosts getting beat here, despite their first defeat in this stadium arriving in their most recent outing they’d want to bounce back. I expect them to apply plenty of pressure as they’ll want to head to Milan in control of the tie.
Inter haven’t recorded a victory on their travels since January, a six-game streak. Inzaghi will understand the task on his side’s hands and will respect the opposition, a draw would be a positive result for the Italians.
We saw Inter keep clean sheets in both games against Porto in the previous round, they have the experience to keep things tight. Just two of their 20 games in 2023 have seen more than three match goals.
With this being a quarter-final match-up, both sides will want to keep things somewhat safe. An error could become pivotal regarding the tie, the first 45 especially could be a slow and methodical matchup rather than an all-guns-blazing encounter.
Goncalo Ramos has had a breakthrough season for both club and country, the 21-year-old has been a consistent shooter for his side whenever he’s been on the pitch. Ramos has played eight times in the Champions League this season, he’s recorded multiple shots in seven matches with the exception coming on the opening matchday. At home in the league he’s scored 14 times in 13 matches with multiple shots arriving in every single outing.
- Benfica Or Draw
- Under 3.5 Goals
- Goncalo Ramos Over 1.5 Shots
