Anderlecht can hope for third place in the group C of the Champions League, a place that leads to the Europa League. But for that they need to beat current number three – Benfica.

Anderlecht have only one point so far in the Champions league, with only one goal scored. They’ll need to improve their attacking yield in this competition. They surely have the potential to score more. In Belgian championship, Anderlecht are number one goalscorers. The biggest problem in their offense is the absence of their most valuable striker Matias Suarez, who scored six goals in eleven games this season. They’ll just have to figure something out as this is their probably the last chance in this year’s Champions League. They have a bigger chance on their stadium than in the next round in Athens. That is why they need to go all offense.

Benfica have four points and still have a chance to end up on the second spot in C group, but with problems in their national championship, I’m not certain they’ll be capable of it. But Benfica have an excellent squad. They have a great midfield, with Nemanja Matic in the key role, great attack, with Cardozo, Gaitan, and Salvio, and very reliable defense with Garay as their top man. Compared to Anderlecht, they are the better team, but we’ll they be able to win, is a big question.

As this is a game of utmost importance for the both sides, I expect a close match. For me, the safest tip is BTTS (Both Teams to Score).
