Benfica have shown a confident game at the beginning of the season, remaining undefeated in the Portuguese league. The team has a strong attacking potential, having scored 7 goals in 4 rounds of the Portuguese championship, but sometimes shows instability in defense. At home at the Estadio da Luz, they are traditionally strong and are motivated to start the group stage with a victory.
Karabakh shows high efficiency in attack, especially in away matches of the Champions League. In the playoff round, they scored in both games with Ferencvaros (3:1 and 2:3), demonstrating bold attacking football. However, their defense looks vulnerable against classy opponents.
Both clubs adhere to an attacking style, and their recent matches often end with a total of 3 or more goals. Given Benfica's motivation and Karabakh's willingness to go forward even on the road, a goal extravaganza is likely.
