Benfica vs. Chelsea prediction, expert picks

• Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals: Yes (-105)
• Joao Pedro anytime goal scorer (+115)

Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals (-105)

Both teams conceded three goals on Matchday 1, and I expect both teams to press forward looking for goals as they hope to secure their first points of the Champions League league phase. The Blues have given up two or more goals in four of their last five fixtures across all competitions, and Benfica has recorded just one clean sheet in their past five matches. 

Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals is priced at  -105 odds at FanDuel, where new users can use the latest FanDuel promo code good for $300 in bonus bets if your first wager of $5 or more wins. Sign up for FanDuel here:

Joao Pedro anytime goal scorer (+115)

Chelsea is dealing with a laundry list of injuries, including attacking players like Cole Palmer (groin) and Liam Delap (thigh). That leaves Joao Pedro, who’s recorded two goals and three assists in Premier League play, to lead Chelsea’s attack. Pedro should have ample scoring opportunities against a Benfica backline that gave up 10 total shots, including five on target, in the loss to Qarabağ FK.
