PSV
The PSV players started powerfully. The team of Roger Schmidt was able to deal with Galatasaray (7:2) and Mityulland (4:0) without any difficulties in the previous two rounds of qualification. In the national championship, the "red and white" also go without losses – 2 wins in 2 matches. In addition, a trophy was obtained in the form of the Super Cup of the country. However, in Lisbon, the Eindhoven team could not cope with the opponent and lost to the latter with a score of 1:2.
Benfica
The Lisbon Eagles have already managed to leave one opponent out of the tournament. The team of Jorge Jesus was able to confidently deal with the Russian "Spartak" from Moscow, beating the "red-white" with a score of 4: 0 on the sum of two matches. In the Portuguese championship, Benfica has 3 wins in 3 matches and the second place in the standings. In the first match with PSV, the Portuguese were able to win with a score of 2:1, which, however, does not guarantee the team a victory in a 2-match duel.

Forecast
The hosts will bet on winning in the main time of the match, and they will most likely succeed. I bet that the Eagles will get Victoria due to confident actions in their native walls. At the same time, it is impossible to exclude the possible additional time.
