SL Benfica - Juventus FC 24/4/2014 20:05 GMT
The clash between Benfica and Juventus is considered by many experts as a final before the final. Undoubtedly, two of the main contenders for the title, which are in great form, will play an exciting semifinal match of the Europa League.
In Benfica squad the mood will definitely be upbeat, after winning their 33rd Liga Sagres title. Benfica perform at very high level all season, in which they haven`t lost a single game in front of own audience. After 9 consecutive home wins, even a team such as Juventus cannot be declared favorite against Benfica.
Formally, it can be said that this is a game between the reigning champions of Portugal and Italy. Juventus have 8 points lead at the top of Serie A and they will hardly let the Scudetto slip. Surely, Conte will rely on his best available players, in the pursuit of a good tournament result.
Away win in this game, however, seems unlikely in view of the results Juventus have in their away matches this season. They are not bad at all, but it`s true, that Juve are experiencing some difficulties in their visits. For the entire season, only Milan looks like a serious team, that was defeated at home by Juventus.
