Benfica outclassed Spartak in Moskva and showed they are very well prepared for the new season. The rematch should be just another game where coach Jorge Jesus could adjust his squad for the upcoming matches. Read our Benfica vs Spartak Moskva prediction and betting tips.
Benfica was a far better team in the first game and it is some kind of football miracle how they failed to score much more goals against an average Spartak side. In the first half, their team captain Pizzi didn’t convert from the several chances they created in various ways, and also Seferović and Rafa Silva had their time in the Spartak penalty box but didn’t put the ball in the net. The old unwritten football rule says that if you failed to score you will be punished on the other side but this time Spartak was simply not good enough.
Benfica found the rival's goal two times in the second half but the overall opinion is that they are better side for a few more. Jorge Jesus was very satisfied with team effort and performance but he saw the game in the same way as others, for something more, Benfica needs to up their conversion rate. Rafa Silva and substitute Gilberto gave them needed advantage before the second leg, but players like Everton, Seferović, Pizzi, Ramos must be better in front of the opponent's goal. Benfica started well in the Primeira, the 2-1 win against Moreirense came with first-half goals from Brazilian center-back Lucas Verissimo and German striker Luca Waldschmidt. Full-back Andre Almeida, Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez and Brazilian attacker Rodrigo Pinho are all injured.
Benfica (3-4-2-1): Odysseas Vlachodimos, Lucas Verissimo, Nicolas Otamendi, Jan Vertonghen, Gilberto, Julian Weigl, Adel Taarabt, Alex Grimaldo, Everton Cebolinha, Luca Waldschmidt, Goncalo Ramos
Spartak wasn’t that bad in the first game but they are a class below the Portuguese side. They tried to take advantage of the earlier start of the Russian league, but it was easy to see from the middle of the first half that Benfica has a better individual quality all over the pitch. Even ex-Benfica coach Rui Vitoria couldn’t help with his experience and knowledge of the opponent. They had their chances but lack of speed in the attack and the rustiness of the forward Sobolev after EURO looked like a too high obstacle at the moment.
Spartak's defeat in the domestic league against Nizhny Novgorod showed that the board must be patient with their new project and Rui Vitoria should be at his best to turn things around. Argentinian Ezequiel Ponce who represented his country at the Olympics should be a better option in the attack than Sobolev, but also one man can’t do it by himself. Spartak has failed to win any of their last eight Champions League games away from home and Benfica has all the reasons to believe that the Moskva team couldn’t break that spell in Lisbon. Goalkeeper Aleksandr Selikhov and center-back Pavel Maslov are injured.
Spartak Moskva (4-1-4-1): Aleksandr Maksimenko, Nikolai Rasskazov, Samuel Gigot, Georgi Dzhikiya, Ayrton, Nail Umyarov, Zelimkhan Bakayev, Roman Zobnin, Jorrit Hendrix, Jordan Larsson, Aleksandr Sobolev

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
