Reasons For Manchester United vs Benfica predictions & Betting Tips

The Manchester United Squad are the favourites for this match with odds of 1.35 with Unibet, with visitors Benfica priced at 10.00 with bet365 to take the three points.

Current form only really points to one winner, especially in the Champions League where there is already a nine point gap between the two sides.

Two weeks ago, Marcus Rashford’s overhit free-kick caught out young Benfica ‘keeper Mile Svilar to gift United three points that leave them now on the brink of qualification.

Having lost ground in the Premier League, manager Jose Mourinho will prioritise a win against his former side so that he can put more of his focus onto domestic action.

Benfica did manage a draw in their last trip to Old Trafford back in 2011, but with zero points in the current campaign it’s hard to see them getting anything this time around.

They were humiliated 5-0 at Basel in their last Champions League away trip in late September, which is why we’re pretty confident of a United win at 1.35 with Unibet.

Whilst the margin of victory may not be so emphatic for the Red Devils, a 3-0 home win looks a good price at 8.00 with Unibet.

Normally we back Romelu Lukaku to score first given his pedigree in front of goal, but if you’re looking for value, Henrikh Mkhitaryan looks a good price at 6.75 with bet365 to open the scoring. The Armenian loves a goal in European competition.

Manchester United vs Benfica Form

Manchester United Form

United are second in the Premier League, five points behind Manchester City. Their form has largely been impressive, although last week’s loss to Huddersfield left Jose Mourinho angry with his players.

United Form: DWWWWW

Benfica Form

The Eagles have won the Portuguese league the last four seasons running, but have struggled so far this campaign and sit three points adrift leaders Sporting. They were surprisingly beaten 5-0 away at Basel in their last Champions League away trip.

Manchester United vs Benfica Head To Head (H2H)

Benfica have only beaten United once in 10 previous meetings, a Champions League group stage match back in 2005. United won 1-0 when the teams met in the reverse fixture two weeks ago, although had a rather fortunate goal from Marcus Rashford to thank in a 1-0 win.
