PSG vs Benfica betting tips 2 October 2013 Champions League By Isaiah

PSG vs Benfica betting tips 2 October 2013 Champions League: "PSG earned an easy victory in the first round of Champions League as they visited Olympiakos and walked away with a 4:1 victory in their hands. However, not everything went on their side at the beginning of the match as Olympiakos stood pretty well in the first halftime, but once the Greek side ran out of power in second half, French were all over them and fairly took the three pointer with three goals difference."

Parisians continued after that game with the good form, drawing at home in a derby game against Monaco 1:1, although they were much more closer to get the victory. However, next two matches saw them winning over Valenciennes 1:0 on the road and few days ago, against Toulouse 2:0. With that run, they continued being unbeaten in the new season having currently 5-3-0 record as the team shares the first position together with already mentioned rivals from Monaco. In front of this game, Parisians will surely want to get another victory and make their path to the second phase of Champions League match easier, although the draw wouldn’t be very negative result in their situation.

Central defenders Thiago Silva (6/0) and Alex (6/0) are both out, same as attacking midfielder Pastore who is yet to perform this season. Cavani and Ibrahimovic are expected to continue together in the top of attacking line.

Benfica, on the other side, won over Anderlecht 2:0 at home in the first round, as the Portuguese team got the two nil lead already after thirty minutes of football. Despite the fact that both sides had chances later on during the game, Portuguese team won the game with the result formed after half an hour of play.

They made a right step into the Champions League, but none is satisfied with their current progress in the new edition of Portuguese league as they are already five points below Porto that is leading the table. They made a huge setback few days ago, drawing at home against Belenenses 1:1 and are surely looking to improve the morale with a positive result in Paris, which would surely be a draw as well. Guests are entering this game without midfielders Ruben Amorim and Eduardo Salvio who are out injured, while Gaitan has made return from injury and might be included into the starting lineup.

PSG are undefeated in their last nine matches in the Champions League.
Benfica are undefeated in their last five matches against PSG.
PSG have seen over 2.5 goals in five of their last six matches against Benfica.
Cavani-Ibrahimovic attacking duo is not working at their best potential at the moment and we shouldn’t see highly open match between these two sides. Both have earned victories in first round and will probably approach this game a bit more cautiously knowing that they can calculate a little during the game.

Bet: Under 2.5 goals
