I do not see Monaco winning the strong Benfica side, on the other hand it does not smell like an away win either and I do want waste value for X2, so let us take a smaller size bet on a draw with high odds as it would be a decent result for both sides.
My thoughts:
Having only dropped points once in the Champions League this autumn, AS Monaco will be chasing another full point pot at Benfica's expense at Stade Louis II on Wednesday. Monaco is currently third, with only a draw against Dinamo Zagreb as a dim stain on the shield. Benfica's situation is more difficult, however, as they are now suffering from a couple of consecutive losses. It is not difficult, but not a great one either.
Monaco, led by Adi Hütter, has also been in a very good form in the French Ligue 1 throughout the autumn. They are six points behind PSG in second place and interms of performanes, they can undoubtedly be called the second toughest team in France this autumn. Monaco has improved especially in defence, but the attack has also seen exemplary performance by a skilled and talented attacking cadre.
French league table, top-5 below:
We can see that especially the defense has been performing well with less than 10 goals xG against them in 12 games!
Team news:
Except for Krépin Diatt, Hütter has the entire roster available on Wednesday. Folarin Balogun's fitness is not perfect, however, and the American may be saved for the important match against Marseille this weekend.
Benfica had the Portuguese Cup on their agenda after the international break, where they knocked out Estrela Amadora 7-0. Since Bruno Lage's arrival in the early autumn, Benfica has been particularly brilliant in the Portuguese league, and they have won all 6 games under his coaching. Tonight the opponent will be tougher, and only Porto and Santa Clara were among top-4 in that run.
In Europe, however, they shockingly lost to Feyenoord and, as expected, to Bayern Munich away in the last round. In terms of play, Lage's team seems to be classy and ready for play-offs at least, with their performances. In the Portuguese league they are 8 points behind Sporting with a game in hand.
Team news:
Benfica will travel to Monaco without Gianluca Prestianni, Tiago Gouveia and Renato Sanches. In addition, Jan-Niklas Beste, who slightly injured himself in the cup match over the weekend, can still be considered uncertain on the eve of the match.
Monaco obviously has a home advantage, but Stade Louis II is rarely a place of chaos and destruction. Benfica is in really strong form right now, having beaten Porto in style by 4-1 before the international break. We should expect a match that is more even than the odds, and I am happy to take a risk here!
Good luck!

我不认为摩纳哥会赢强大的本菲卡，另一方面，这也不像一个客场的胜利，我想浪费X2的价值，所以让我们把赌注定在一个高*的平局上，因为这对双方来说都是一个不错的结果。
我的想法:
今年秋天，摩纳哥在欧冠联赛中只丢了1分，周三，摩纳哥将在路易斯二世球场与本菲卡争夺另一个满分。摩纳哥目前排名第三，只有一场战平萨格勒布迪纳摩的比赛给他们的盾牌蒙上了一层阴影。然而，本菲卡的情况更加困难，因为他们正在遭受连续两场失利。这并不难，但也不是一个伟大的问题。
在阿迪·赫<e:1>特的带领下，摩纳哥在整个秋季的法甲联赛中也保持着良好的状态。他们比排名第二的巴黎圣日耳曼落后6分，就表现而言，他们无疑可以被称为今年秋天法国第二难对付的球队。摩纳哥在防守方面有了很大的进步，但进攻方面也有了出色的表现，他们是一支技术娴熟、才华横溢的进攻队伍。
法国排名，前五名如下：
我们可以看到，特别是防守表现得很好，在12场比赛中，对他们的进球不到10个！
团队新闻:
除了迪亚特，h<e:1>特周三的全部阵容都可以上场。然而，巴洛贡的健康状况并不完美，这名美国人可能会在本周末与马赛的重要比赛中复出。
在国际比赛日之后，本菲卡队以7-0淘汰了埃斯特雷拉-阿马多拉，他们将葡萄牙杯列入了日程。自从布鲁诺·拉赫在初秋到来后，本菲卡在葡萄牙联赛中表现尤为出色，他们在他的执教下取得了6场全胜。今晚的对手将会更加强硬，只有波尔图和圣克拉拉进入了前四。
然而，在欧洲，他们在最后一轮令人震惊地输给了费耶诺德，并且不出所料地客场输给了拜仁慕尼黑。在比赛方面，Lage的球队看起来很有水准，至少从他们的表现来看，他们已经为季后赛做好了准备。在葡萄牙联赛中，他们在少赛一场的情况下落后里斯本8分。
团队新闻:
本菲卡将在没有吉安卢卡·普雷斯蒂尼、蒂亚戈·古维亚和雷纳托·桑切斯的情况下前往摩纳哥。此外，在周末的杯赛中受了轻伤的贝斯特，在比赛前夕仍然是不确定的。
摩纳哥显然有主场优势，但路易斯二世球场很少是一个混乱和破坏的地方。本菲卡现在的状态非常好，在国际比赛日之前以4-1击败了波尔图。我们应该期待一场比*更公平的比赛，我很高兴在这里冒险！
好运！
