That could leave the door open for a counter attacking lesson for Unirea, vs LFC, especially as Torres is likely to feature at some stage and LFC look overpriced at 5/6. There should be goals is games elsewhere in the Europa League as teams like Atletico and Villarreal will be forced to push forward to overturn first leg disadvantages(in terms of away goals). Another standout is Hertha, who will have to come out against a Benfica side who could seriously punish them if they leave too much space. 13/10 on the handicap is good value on Benfica...... stay tuned for expert Champions league soccer picks / europa league predictions
