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 45% chance of Barcelona coming away with a win.
