Champions League - Qualification - Final
Game 2. 1st leg result: 1-2.

PSV is a team that has been performing great so far this season. They managed to knock out Galatasaray (home 5:1 / 1:2 away) and then Midtjylland (home 3:0 / 0:1 away) in the qualification of the Champions League.
They have a full 6 points in the league after two rounds played. In the first league round, PSV managed to beat Heracles 2:0. In the second round, they beat Cambuur 4:1.
PSV lost 1:2 to Benfica in the first leg. PSV will have to play "open", offensive football there. Anything other than a winning result means they will be out of Champions League.

Benfica are doing great so far. They've won 9 of their last 10 games.
In the 3rd qualification round they managed to knock out Spartak Moscow. Benfica won 2:0 both matches.
They managed to win the first three league rounds. At the moment they are in 2nd place with 9 points. Only Sporting, who have a better score, are in 1st place.

I also bet on goals for the first game (Both Teams to Score / Over 2.5 goals) and both bets were successful. In today's game I expect to see a lot of goals again and again I expect a successful bet.

Statistics from the 1st match:
Benfica 2:1 PSV
Ball possession - 43%:57%
Goal attempts - 10:11
Shots on goal - 4:5
Corner kicks - 3:4

My bet:
Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals - Yes @ 2.05 (bet365)

PSV 0:0 Benfica = Bet KO
32´ Red card for Benfica

Benfica have reached the group stage of the Champions League after a 0:0 draw at Eindhoven. The match was marred by the sending off of Lucas Veríssim, who saw his second yellow card in the 32nd minute, sending the home team into a numerical advantage. PSV's effort came crashing down on a great performance from goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos.
