Latest Benfica vs Atletico Madrid football review
Roger Schmidt was sacked as Benfica manager after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Moreirense on 30 August. Since the German left, Benfica have won four straight games in the Primeira Liga and Champions League. Most recently, they won 5-0 at Gil Vicente on Saturday night, with the likes of Nicolas Otamendi scoring.
Benfica have picked up 12 points this month under new coach Bruno Lage, turning the squad into a winning machine. New signing Kerem Akturkoglou continued to make his mark with a number of assists in the 2-1 win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid extended their unbeaten run to nine games after a dramatic 1-1 draw with Real Madrid. Despite their solid form, they are still five points behind Barcelona in La Liga. Atletico's defence is solid, conceding just three goals in their last eight games.
With a 2-1 win over RB Leipzig in their Champions League opener, Atletico will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to 10 games against Benfica, but Lage's Benfica are also capable of posing a serious challenge to their Spanish opponents.
Our prediction is that Atletico Madrid will maintain their unbeaten run with a draw in Lisbon.
