DIE MEISTER, Die Besten, Les grandes équipes, The champions.
It’s back! Champions League returns and I think there’s value on Portuguese giants Benfica at home to CSKA Moscow. In the qualifying stages Igor Akifeev kept his first Champions League clean sheet in 11 years. Yep, 11 …
That's 40 matches, 3600 minutes, or 60 episodes of The Great British Bake Off. What hell that must have been.
That was against the Greek side AEK Athens and things will be much different in Lisbon where Benfica have started the season six games unbeaten, scoring 3+ in three of four home games.
CSKA conceded 2+ in all three away group games last season at Leverkusen, Tottenham and Monaco and you’d expect the same from Benfica who are strong on home soil where you’d have to stretch back to December last year to look for their last home loss against Napoli.
