Benfica vs Austria Wien prediction
Benfica began their league phase campaign with a 2-1 victory at Juventus but have followed that with 3-0 defeats to both Bayern Munich and Arsenal – admittedly two fixtures they were not expected to challenge in.
The Portuguese outfit have won all five of their domestic league matches this season but they have typically struggled to compete with the top European sides.
Austria Wien, meanwhile, have found it tough going in their first-ever group stage / league phase appearance in the Women's Champions League. They have just a point to their name so far, which came from a frustrating 1-1 draw with Inter Milan on Matchday 2 in which they conceded a 94th-minute equaliser.
Both teams will view this fixture as winnable, and while we feel that Benfica have the edge, they don't possess enough attacking quality to have full confidence in them. With Austria Wien also lacking star quality in the final third, particularly if striker Modesta Uka misses out, we think this fixture is likely to contain under 3.5 goals.
Benfica vs Austria Wien tip: Under 3.5 goals
