UCL: Benfica x Liverpool (P+R)

Those Liverpool FC supporters who believe in lucky omens will have greeted the draw for the first knockout round with enthusiasm. On the three previous occasions they have faced SL Benfica, Liverpool have always come out on top and each time have gone on to reach the final. However, the Portuguese champions can take comfort from having already defeated English opposition in this year's competition in the form of 1999 winners Manchester United FC.
 
Based on our recent performances, things aren't looking good for us.. :( then again, we weren't playing so hot and were injury plagued when we faced Man Utd, yet we still manged to pull a win out of our asses....so who knows?

it's a different game than the league ones.

It's much worst, you're not gonna play against a team that is the place before last, you're gonna play against the european champion.

and? the strategy for this game is completely different and Benfica has less responsabilities on this game. if we beat Man United we could beat Liverpool. at least we are playing among the european elite and this is not a worst thing.

I think one of the reasons why Benfica has been crap lately is precisely this game right here. It is a huge match that can decide a couple careers (namely Simão's fate) so I am quite positive it has been on their minds lately.

I see a 1-1 draw.

Benfica is playing cr*p. There are two key players for this one. They have to play immensivly for SLB have a chance. Simão and Petit. And set pieces against those guys doesn't work...
I predict a 1-1.

Simao (FK)
Gerrard (PEN)

Marcel has been so disapoiting, and we have no more strikers left to replace him... Nuno Gomes under-performs when he plays as the main striker, Miccoli is injured... as Geovanni, our best striker right now!!! :nape:

Starting XI
We are a very irregular team this year, so it's really hard to make a prediction, but if we are in a good night as many we already had during this season we can beat them, so i'll assume we will be inspired and the players will be motivated by the crowd to win, maybe 1-0.

Petit to score.

Benfica not to be underestimated, they are playing like sh't atm but this will be a different match.
Plus I don't believe Liverpool will come to play offensivelly, I'm guessing they will mostly try to counter-attack and eventually snatch a goal.


1-1

M. Fernandes (40 meter stunner)
Riise (vicious leftfooted volley)

As if Benfica is "underestimating" Liverpool in any way, shape, or form :rolleyes: Like we don't know we're heavy underdogs going into this game, or any other game at this stage of the CL for that matter. I swear, everyday I read something just a wee bit more retarded in these forums...
