Benfica will be hoping lightning strikes twice at the Estadio da Luz as they bid to repeat their epic UEFA Champions League win over Real Madrid tonight.
Jose Mourinho’s side booked their place in the play-offs in the most dramatic way possible as a last-gasp goal from keeper Anatoliy Trubin sealed a 4-2 win in Lisbon.
Their reward is another game against the Spanish giants and it will be fascinating to see if the legendary coach can get one over on his old club again.
Benfica vs Real Madrid top betting tips
This match is unlikely to be as exciting as the last meeting, with the first legs of knockout ties often quite cagey.
Real Madrid were poor in that last meeting but their form has otherwise been excellent under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa.
Saturday’s 4-1 rout of Real Sociedad made it six wins in seven games so that’s why their best price tonight is just 19/20 at Unibet.
Vinicius Junior netted a weekend double and is usually a threat so I’m going to combine a shot on target for the Brazilian with the same bet for Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis. That pays a decent 129/100 at Unibet.
Monaco vs Paris St-Germain
Paris St-Germain came alive in the Champions League knockout stages last season and they have an all-French tie with Monaco tonight in the play-offs.
Having swept aside rivals at home and abroad last term, things haven’t run so smoothly for Luis Enrique’s side in this campaign.
A draw at home to Newcastle last time out in Europe saw them miss out on the top eight and they’ve already lost 1-0 away to Monaco in Ligue 1.
Despite that, PSG are hot favourites tonight at a best 3/5 and it’s probably because Monaco are sitting just eighth in the French top flight.
Monaco have scored seven times across their last two home games so it could pay to combine BTTS and over 2.5 goals, although the odds aren’t great at just 10/11 with Coral.
Player bets offer a bit more value and combining shots on target for PSG stars Ousmane Dembele and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia pays evens at BetMGM.

It could be a tough night for Monaco’s defence and Jordan Teze looks overpriced for a card at 4/1 with Betfred, having picked up eight yellows already this term.
Galatasaray vs Juventus
Juventus are going through a rough time so the last thing they need is a trip to Turkey tonight to face Galatasaray in the Champions League.
Playing in the Istanbul cauldron is a tough task when you’re in good form but Juve are in the midst of a slump that has seen them win just one of their last five games.
They did show a bit of spirit with 10 men against Inter at the weekend but still ended up losing 3-2 after conceding a demoralising goal at the death.
Galatasaray’s confidence will be up after a 5-1 weekend mauling of Eyupspor made it five wins in their last six games.
So I’m surprised to see the Turks as big as 5/2 with Bet365 tonight and they’re also a decent 3/4 in the double chance.
Galatasaray need a big display from star man Victor Osimhen and the Nigerian looks good at 13/8 for anytime scorer with SkyBet.
