Betting suggestion:
This is a match between the two teams that have been doing the best campaigns so far in Group B of the UEFA Champions League and able to change the lead. Benfica is unbeaten for three matches for the continental tournament and was unbeaten in the Portuguese Championship until the last round. Napoli hasn’t won for three matches in the tournament but have been unbeaten for four in the Italian Championship. Thus, it’s expectable a balanced and high level match, being a good option to bet on the draw, but with the favoritism for the home team.
