After the heavy defeat Everton conceded in Lisbon a fortnight ago they must now try and get something at home to keep their chances of advancing safe.
Unfortunately for the Merseysiders they are winless in 6 games in all competitions now and it seems like their injury troubles never end.
Once again Heitinga and Neill are ineligible, while Saha, Hibbert, Pienaar, Osman, Neville, Jagielka and Anicheve are all out injured.
Benfica conceded their first domestic defeat of the season at Braga in the weekend and are no longer top of the Portuguese Super Liga. They must’ve had Europe on their minds.
Oscar Cardozo and Javier Saviola each netted a brace in the 5-0 victory in Portugal, and Moyes’ men must find some solution to stop the pair or they may be stung by them once again.
If anything, I believe this game to be one with goals, but I’m afraid more goals will be scored by the visitors.
However, the way The Toffees looked against Aston Villa in the weekend give me some hope, so I’ll only settle for the overs option.
Pick:
Over 2.5 goals @ 2.09 w/ Pinnacle
