UEFA Champions league returns with a round of Quarterfinal matches. For this match, Benfica host Inter Milan at the Estadio da Luz tonight. Inter Milan currently occupy the 5th position in the Italian Serie A. They have not been having a terrific domestic season so far. They were held to a 1-1 draw in their last weekend game by Salernitana. Benfica on the other hand currently are placed on the first position in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. They were defeated 2-1 by FC Porto in their last outing last week. It is interesting to note that Inter Milan knocked FC Porto out to set up this meeting with Benfica. In spite of Inter's struggles in the Serie A, I am backing Inter Milan to avoid defeat at the hands of Benfica for the following reasons:

Firstly. Inter Milan can pack a punch on a good day. They have been having a mixed season in the Serie A. But they have been making up for their shortcomings in their domestic league in the Champions league with their performances. They beat the Portuguese heavyweights, FC Porto, in the round of 16 matches while keeping clean sheets in both legs. They won each of the legs by 1-0 margins. The new resolve Inter have shown in the Champions league will give them an edge to get something out of this encounter.

Secondly. Inter Milan have a psychological advantage over Benfica. They have not lost to Benfica before, winning Benfica three times out of their last four meetings, while the other match ended in a draw. Benfica may come into this match overconfident based on their current form. This can make them let their guard against a well drilled Inter Milan. Inter can be very resolute in defence against an attacking team like Benfica, and will hit very quick counter-attacks. With the good understanding between Lukaku and Martinez, their counter-attacks have been very efficient. And, they both will be key to Inter's success over Benfica.

Inter Milan have failed to live up to their standards in the Serie A. But they have been known to pack a punch on a good day. As they seek, and have been making amends in the Champions league, I expect Inter Milan to avoid a defeat and get a win or a draw from this encounter.

欧洲冠军联赛带着一轮四分之一决赛回归。本场比赛，本菲卡将于今晚在卢兹球场主场迎战国际米兰。国际米兰目前在意甲联赛中排名第五，到目前为止，他们在国内的表现并不出色。他们在上周末的比赛中被萨勒尼塔纳1-1逼平。另一方面，本菲卡目前在葡萄牙西甲排名第一。在上周的最后一场比赛中，他们以2-1的比分输给了波尔图。有趣的是，国际米兰在与本菲卡的比赛中淘汰了波尔图。尽管国米在意甲联赛中举步维艰，但我支持国米避免输给本菲卡，原因如下:

首先。国际米兰可以在好的时候打出一拳。他们在意甲联赛中表现好坏参半，但在欧冠联赛中，他们用自己的表现弥补了在国内联赛中的不足。他们在16强比赛中击败了葡萄牙劲旅波尔图，两回合零失球。他们以1:0的比分赢得了两回合比赛。国际米兰在欧冠联赛中表现出的新决心将使他们在这场比赛中获得一些优势。

其次。国际米兰对本菲卡有心理优势。他们之前从未输给过本菲卡，在最近四次交锋中三次战胜本菲卡，而另一场比赛则以平局告终。本菲卡目前的状态可能会让他们在这场比赛中过于自信。这可以让他们对训练有素的国际米兰放松警惕。面对像本菲卡这样的进攻型球队，国米的防守会非常坚决，他们会进行非常快速的反击。由于卢卡库和马丁内斯之间的默契，他们的反击非常有效。而且，他们都将是国米战胜本菲卡的关键。

国际米兰未能在意甲联赛中达到他们的标准，但他们以在好的时候打出重拳而闻名。当他们在欧冠联赛中寻求弥补时，我预计国际米兰将避免失败，并在这场比赛中取得一场胜利或一场平局。
