1.50Asian Handicap: Away +1.510

Left with one less player, Chelsea suffered a comeback and a 1:3 loss at home to Brighton over the weekend. With so many losses and their first match in the Champions League as guests against Bayern. Recently, there has definitely been a decline in the team's performance, which has won only one of its last five matches in all competitions, and that was against the modest Lincoln with 2:1 in the English League Cup. The last five matches of Chelsea had goals/goals and over 2.5 goals.

José Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge

José Mourinho's presence again at Stamford Bridge, even if only for this match, cannot fail to provoke additional interest. The Portuguese has recently taken the helm at Benfica and definitely has improvements to make in a team that suffered a surprising comeback loss to the underdog Qarabag with 2:3 at the start of the group stage in the Champions League. After that, Mourinho took the reins and recorded two victories and one surprising draw at home against Rio Ave in the league, so José needs to think about how to minimize such mistakes.

Prediction: +1.5 AH for Benfica

Chelsea's form has recently declined. The team remains the favorite in this match, but Benfica should not be written off, as well as José Mourinho, who knows the situation well in England and at Stamford Bridge, although it has been quite some time since he managed the team. Nevertheless, in my opinion, Chelsea will struggle to win, and any potential victory will not be by more than a one-goal difference.

        Chelsea vs Benfica — Back the Blues to Avoid Defeat at Stamford Bridge

        📝 Analysis

        Chelsea host Benfica in a key Champions League clash. Despite some injury concerns, the Blues remain strong at home and historically have dominated Benfica in European meetings, winning all previous encounters.

        Benfica, managed by José Mourinho, have shown resilience in the league but have struggled in Europe recently, including a 3–2 loss in their opening group match. Chelsea are expected to control possession and create chances, while Benfica will look to counterattack.

        This combination makes a Chelsea win or draw (1X) a sensible choice.
