Benfica are the underdog in this series. Although they come from giving the surprise in the round of 16 against Ajax, it is not the same as facing Liverpool, who today are at a higher level than the Dutch. A neat defense allowed the Portuguese team to win the series against Ajax, and they hope to do the same against the “Reds”. They will also have to improve that aspect against a team as strong as Liverpool, especially after the defeat against Braga in the Primeira Liga that left many defensive doubts.
The English come to this instance after winning all the games in the group stage, and struggling to get through to the round of 16, in what seemed to be a quiet series as they beat Inter 2-0 in Italy, but lost 1 -0 in England, leaving the “Nerazurri” very close to equaling the series. Taking this into account, Liverpool will have to be careful so that a series in which they are clearly the favorite, does not get complicated as happened against Inter.
