MATCH PREDICTION
Since the return of former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Bruno Lage to Benfica, the Lisbon-based giants have been impressive and come into this week on the back of four successive victories. The hosts are trying to rebuild after what was an underwhelming campaign last time around. They now face an Atletico Madrid side that, coached by Diego Simeone, have started this season with a bit more flexibility and attacking intent. They recently shared a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in the derby. This has the potential to be quite fun for the neutral so both teams scoring would seem a good bet.
