Preview: Liverpool started well the first leg, and they should get more in that game. But Babel took that red card in first half and Benfica started to play better and better, encouraged by those fantastic fans. However, they could score twice only after 2 penalties were given, so we can say that they've won the game with some luck: with one more player than Liverpool, crazy fans encouraging them and two penalties. On Anfield, things should go in the opposite way. Liverpool will have the fans, playing 11 vs 11 and with the motivation that they should win this game to qualify.

It's obvious that Benfica will try everything to qualify as they don't have anything else to fight for this season ( they are almost champions in Portugal and nothing else can happen in the remaining rounds). They have big expectations after they won in first leg. They will miss only Saviola as an important player. The rest of the team is quite the same as in the first leg.

Liverpool still have small chances to get 4th place in Premier League and they will fight till the end. However it's pretty sure that everyone at the club want a trophy, even if it's Europa League and not Champions League or Premier League. So they need a win tonight, and even one by 2 goals or more if Benfica scores. They aren't playing too bad, and I see them with first chance here to qualify. However, they will miss some important players like Skrtel, Insua, Babel or Maxi Rodriguez who already played for Atletico this season in Europa League.

I won't be surprised if this will be an over 2.5 goals game, but I also know that it's very possible to see 1-0 on the scoreboard at the end of the game. So, for me this is the best bet.
