Benfica will take advantage of home ground and hope to bounce back in Thursday's game.

Benfica is determined to leverage their home advantage in their upcoming match. The team is keen on rebounding from recent setbacks, including defeats against local rivals Sporting, which dashed their Taca de Portugal aspirations, and a loss in the Lisbon derby that cost them the chance to claim the top spot in the league.

Thursday's game presents an opportunity for Benfica to seize an initial advantage, especially considering Marseille's struggles on the road this season. Marseille, currently experiencing a downturn, suffered a setback in their recent match against Villarreal, ending a five-game winning streak. Their form in Ligue 1 has also been lackluster, losing all three of their recent matches.

Throughout the season, Marseille has shown inconsistency away from home, with just one victory in six European away games and a poor record in France's top tier. Conversely, Benfica has maintained an impeccable home record in this competition, having never lost a home game and securing victory in 22 out of 28 matches.

While a home win appears to be the most probable outcome, it's essential to acknowledge that the match may not be entirely one-sided. Predicting a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of Benfica seems reasonable under these circumstances.
