Benfica celebrating - ICC 2019

The Rossoneri are outsiders for the clash at the Gilette Stadium, with William Hill offering them at 9/5 (2.80) to claim a victory. Benfica can be backed at 5/4 (2.25) to make it a clean sweep of wins in the ICC, with the draw offered at 13/5 (3.60).

Team news

New signing Theo Hernandez picked up an ankle sprain in his debut against Bayern and the former Real Madrid full-back will be sidelined for around three weeks.

Benfica have paired new signing Raul De Tomas upfront with top scorer from last season, Haris Seferovic, in both of their previous matches and are likely to start the duo in attack once more.

Preview

Both of Benfica's clashes in the competition so far have produced over 2.5 goals and the ICC has provided plenty of entertainment this summer.

Milan should be in better shape than they were against Bayern in their first match of pre-season, while Benfica have shown themselves to be in sharp form in the final third. 

Tips and predictions

Over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/6 (1.66) and could be worthy of some investment. Benfica to win and over 2.5 goals in the game is priced at 23/10 (3.30), while over 1.5 goals in the second half is available at a healthy-looking 17/20 (1.85)
