Liverpool vs Benfica: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results today

Marc Mayo13 April 2022

Liverpool are on course for the Champions League semi-finals as they prepare to entertain Benfica at Anfield tonight.

Jurgen Klopp’s side lead the quarter-final tie 3-1 after goals from Ibrahima Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz in Lisbon last week.

The Portuguese team can hope for a similarly tricky night for Liverpool that Inter Milan provided from a similar position in the last round, leading to the Reds scraping through by a single goal.

And Benfica have already shocked Barcelona and Ajax in this year’s competition - although this Liverpool team are something of a different proposition.

After Villarreal’s win in Munich on Tuesday, they await the winner of this tie.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s game...

If the Reds rotate, Benfica will sniff a chance and could cause on-the-night issues just as Inter Milan did before them. But a completed comeback feels highly unlikely.
