Wednesday's Football Bet of the Day

Benfica to win

Benfica vs Napoli
TNT Sports 6, 8pm Wednesday

There will be no shortage of experience in the dugouts at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, where Jose Mourinho's Benfica host Antonio Conte's Napoli in the Champions League.

Benfica have had a rough time in Europe this season, beginning with a shock 3-2 home defeat to Qarabag before Mourinho's arrival.

Since he took charge they have lost to nil against Chelsea, Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen but they snapped their losing streak with a 2-0 victory away to Ajax on matchday five.

Napoli's injury crisis means Benfica, with home advantage, look a decent bet to bank another three points.

Conte praised his side's resilience after Sunday's 2-1 win over Juventus but they are likely to be missing seven senior players, including Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Billy Gilmour, for the trip to Portugal.

Napoli's first two away results in Europe were a 2-0 defeat at Manchester City and a 6-2 drubbing by PSV and they are hard to trust on their travels. 

Odds: 11-8 with Hills
