The two teams have no official match record in history, which also adds more uncertainty to this game. However, judging from the performance of the Champions League qualifiers in the past, Benfica has the reputation of "king of the qualifiers". In the past 10 years, the Champions League qualifiers have 21 wins and 3 draws, with an elimination rate of up to 92%, showing a strong European heritage. In contrast, although Nice performed well in the Ligue 1 field, she had obviously lacked experience in European competitions. She was eliminated in 8 games last season. This time, she faced the experienced Benfica, which undoubtedly faced huge challenges.
Nice's new season of Ligue 1 has not started (starting on August 16). This game is the team's first official game of the season. There are certain questions about the players' status and rhythm. In the transfer market, Nice has experienced some personnel changes. The team lost core central defender Todibo (40 million euros transfer to West Ham) and goalkeeper Burka, which forced the team's defense to reorganize. However, Nice also introduced goalkeeper Diouf (Lance) and forward Jansson (Vienna Rapid) to try to strengthen the team's strength. But the offensive end is still relatively dependent on Murphy who scored 13 goals and sent 10 assists last season.
In addition, the team is also facing injuries. Midfielder Ndongbele and defender Nda Ishimiye are absent due to injury, which has had a significant impact on the team's midfield interception ability. Although Nice has remained unbeaten in the last 10 home games (7 wins and 3 draws), the team's home record in the European Cup is very bad. The last Champions League main match dates back to 1959, and was eliminated in the Europa League group stage last season. In this home game, the team urgently needs to break the curse of the European Cup home game.
Benfica has played official matches in the new season and has beaten Sporting Lisbon 1-0 to win the championship in the Super Cup in Portugal, showing good competitive form. In the pre-season warm-up match, Benfica drew with Boca and defeated Bayern in the Club World Cup, demonstrating the team's resilience in tough battles.
In the transfer market, although Benfica lost Di Maria (retired) and left-back Karelas (transferring to Real Madrid with 50 million euros), the team also made targeted signings. The joining of midfielder Rios (Palmeiras) and forward Ivanovic (San Giros) further improved the team's midfield hardness and offensive firepower. However, the team currently has players such as full-back Baya, midfielder Silva, winger Brumma, etc., and there are certain hidden dangers in the right defense. Overall, Benfica's elimination rate in the past five years of Champions League qualifying matches has reached 92%, and last season it even entered the top 16. The team has a profound European background and rich experience.
Comprehensive analysis of the current situation, lineup, tactics and historical performance of the two teams. Analysis of this game: draw/lose. Nice 1-1/1-2/1-3 Benfica. On the one hand, Nice has the inertia of unbeaten at home, 7 wins and 3 draws in the last 10 home games, but the team's offensive efficiency is relatively low, with ≤1 goals in the last 5% of the games. It is not easy to score more goals in the face of Benfica's tight defense line. On the other hand, as a regular visitor to the Champions League, Benfica has stronger tactical discipline. He often focuses on stability in the first round away game, striving to maintain a draw and lay the foundation for home game in the second round.
