Prediction and betting tips

PSG have drawn in the last two matches. They were stronger than Benfica in Round 3, but were unlucky to score a lot of goals. In the most recent fixture against Reims, they received a red card, which made them defensively, but they were able to score a goal too.

Benfica was much stronger than Rio Ave in the most recent match, but this rival is much weaker than PSG. I believe that PSG will finish the next match in their favor. They have played three home matches against Benfica and have not lost a single one. Also, a total of under 3.5 goals has played out in all these matches and in the last four matches with PSG participating. This outcome looks safe too.
