Sevilla are currently 5th in the Spanish Primera – they have scored 66 goals in 37 games and conceded 51. Benfica are champions of Portugal already and they lost just 2 games all season. The most defining statistic surrounding this game is Benfica’s defencive record – they have conceded just 18 goals in 30 games and managed to score 58. Ultimately this match could go either way being a cup final however Benfica’s defencive record is too hard to overlook and they should be able to overcome a decent Sevilla side that concedes too many goals.
