4th Nov 2014 | Champions League
Nearly Men Ready To Deliver
Europa League finalists two years running, Benfica should finally make their mark in Group C on Tuesday.
Don’t let group standings fool you, Benfica should throw the cat amongst the pigeons on Tuesday night by beating Monaco at best odds of 17/20 (Ladbrokes).
Although currently bottom of Group C, the Europa Cup finalists in both of the last two seasons should be too strong for their French opponents with home advantage. The Portuguese dominated a 0-0 draw a fortnight ago in Monaco so they really just need to take their chances this time.
The Ligue 1 outfit have only won six of their 15 matches across all competitions so far in 2014-15 so really their promising start to this Champions League campaign somewhat flatters them.
