Personal analysis: Barcelona has no shortcomings in terms of lineup strength, and it depends more on the performance of the players in the game. The two left and right forwards Rafinha and Yamal are both quite distinctive. Both have strong breakthrough passing and shooting abilities. Especially Yamal has gained a lot of muscle this year, and he will not lose the confrontation on the field. Olmo in the front midfielder position is more about connecting and organizing the attack. Lewandowski basically relies on his personal ability to find the finishing opportunities in front of the goal, and his cooperation with the forwards is relatively rare. The starting lineup of the team's midfield and backcourt is relatively stable. Several core players are players from Barcelona's youth training system. The confrontation ability of the back line will appear to be slightly weaker. In addition, Martinez and Kubasi's speed ability is relatively average. Barcelona's overall back line strength is still slightly worse than that of several giants. Benfica also made some signings in the winter window, which is more to increase the depth of the team's lineup, and the strength has not changed much. The striker is mainly right winger Aktukoglu as the offensive core. He, center forward Pavlidis and left winger Schjedrup have good technical ability at their feet, vision and passing ability, but the three have slightly weaker finishing ability. It is difficult to make quality shots when being closely guarded. The same is true for the newly signed Belotti and Sanches. In the midfield, except for Kokku who has a slightly stronger passing ability, the rest of the players, Arthurs and Barreiro, are defensive players. Silva, who is in the back line, has little experience in big competitions. The key goal lost in the game against Barcelona was caused by his passing being intercepted. The stability of the team's back line is still a little worse.

Both Barcelona and Benfica are mainly technical players on the field. The proportion of physical confrontation between the two teams on the field is not high. In the last round of the two teams' match, Barcelona played more passively on the field with one less player. Benfica had many shooting opportunities throughout the game, but the forwards just couldn't seize the opportunity. It is difficult for Benfica to reverse Barcelona with only technology. In this game, Barcelona's home handicap of 1.5 goals is a bit high. In the first leg, Barcelona's advantage on the field was not obvious. It can be seen that the forwards played more relaxed. If both teams let go of the attack, it will not be a problem for Barcelona to win by three or four goals. If this game is played normally, there is a higher possibility that Barcelona will win. The Barcelona -1.5 win option is recommended, and the score is expected to be 3-0 or 3-1.
