How Benfica Lisbon played recently
In this review, we would like to start with the Club World Cup. Benfica Lisbon started with a 2:2 draw against Boca Juniors - which, in retrospect, was not a bad result. The duel with Auckland City was then a clear 6:0. Somewhat surprisingly, Benfica also beat the German champions from Munich 1:0. Lisbon had thus reached the final round, where they drew 1-1 with eventual winners Chelsea. However, the game was lost 4-1 in extra time. A test match was played against Fenerbahce (3:2). Benfica beat Sporting 1:0 in the Super Cup. The first leg against Nice ended 2:0.
Benfica Lisbon
System: 4-3-3.
How good is Nice's current form?
Now we look at the French team in our Benfica - Nice betting tip. Because a good betting tip always includes both clubs. In France, all teams are actually overshadowed by Paris. However, OGC Nice's fourth place was a good result. However, missing out on the Champions League would be a setback. In the league, they managed 17 wins in 34 games. There were also nine draws and eight defeats. Nice scored 66 goals and conceded 41. Away from home, there were six wins, five draws and six defeats. The goal difference is also not much different here at 28:26.Interim summary of OGC Nice: The French side are about to squander their chance of reaching the top flight. In the first leg, they often failed to finish off chances consistently. Whether they can do better in Portugal is questionable.
