REF’s picks

Benfica's potent attack should comfortably breach Alverca's defensive lines, making their team total over 2.5 goals a strong selection.

1. 1Benfica boast an impressive home scoring record and arrive with exceptional attacking depth.
2. 2Alverca are missing several key defensive players due to injury, leaving them vulnerable at the back.
3. 3Benfica could experience a slow start if Alverca successfully park the bus early on.
