BENFICA .....

I have to give them another chance in the "return"match with Celtic.

The Scottish champions have lost 9 of 10 away Champions League ties and even in the heavy defeat in Glasgow, there were glimpses of what the Portugese side are capable of.

They too are stronger at home, winning all 3 domestic fixtures this season, scoring 8 goals, infact, they have lost fewer than 10 of their last 100 league matches at their Lisbon fortress ( I would have given exact numbers, but lost count twice and gave up) .Liverpool and Manchester United have both tasted recent defeats there and I see no reason why Celtic, should not suffer likewise.

This is must win time for the home side, who have still to travel to United, anything else will leave them looking at the UEFA Cup.

4 points Benfica -1/2 ball asian line 2.02

Back shortly.

Good Luck.
