Chelsea vs Benfica Preview

Chelsea and Benfica meet in the second matchday of the Champions League on September 30, 2025, at Stamford Bridge in London. Currently, both teams are still without points in the table, each with one loss to their name.

A Crucial Clash for Points

While Chelsea lost away to Bayern Munich (1-3), Benfica delivered an unpleasant surprise to their fans, being defeated by QarabaฤŸ 2-3 on their home turf. From this perspective, Benfica's motivation will likely be greater than that of the Londoners.

However, the Portuguese side doesn't seem to be in great form. In the league, they drew at home against Rio Ave (a match they should have won comfortably), and then scraped a narrow 2-1 win against Gil Vicente, also at home. This is not exactly the form they need heading into a match against Chelsea.

A Battle of Wounded Giants

But Chelsea isn't faring any better domestically. In the EFL Cup, they barely scraped by Lincoln, and in the league, they have "managed" two consecutive defeats. The first was away to Man United, and the second, surprisingly, came just this weekend against Brighton at home (1-3).

Overall, neither team appears to be in exceptional form โ€” quite the contrary โ€” which makes for a rather balanced match.

Head-to-Head & Key Players

In direct confrontations, Chelsea leads 4-0, but three of the Londoners' victories were away, and only one was at home. Even so, from this standpoint alone, Chelsea starts as the favorite. With good players in attack (Chelsea has Joรฃo Pedro with 4 goals and 3 assists, while Benfica has Vangelis Pavlidis with 6 goals and 2 assists), but with shaky defenses, we can expect a match with many goals.

Prediction: Chelsea to win, and both teams to score

We believe Chelsea will win the match, even though they are in poor form, because Benfica appears to be in even worse shape. As mentioned above, both teams' defenses are creaking, so we expect goals from both sides. For the more cautious, a bet on a Chelsea win or a draw is another option.
