Predictions and Picks
- Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals: Yes (-105)
- Joao Pedro anytime goal scorer: (+115)
Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals (-105) Both sides conceded three goals on Matchday 1, so it’s expected they will be aggressive in seeking goals as they aim for their first points in the Champions League phase. Chelsea has conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, while Benfica has managed only one clean sheet in their past five games.
Joao Pedro Anytime Goal Scorer (+115)
Facing several injuries, including key attacking players like Cole Palmer (groin) and Liam Delap (thigh), leaves Joao Pedro to spearhead Chelsea’s offense. He has netted two goals and provided three assists in Premier League action, presenting him with significant scoring chances against a Benfica defense that allowed 10 shots (five on target) during their loss to Qarabağ FK.
