Cheslea v Benfica betting form

Chelsea’s start to the 2025–26 season has been far from convincing. After lifting the Club World Cup over the summer, hopes were high among fans that the Blues would build on that success — but they’ve struggled to find momentum, managing just two wins in their first five Premier League matches. Their Champions League campaign hasn’t begun any better, with a disappointing 3–1 defeat away to Bayern Munich highlighting defensive weaknesses.

A growing injury list, including key man Cole Palmer, has only added to the pressure on Enzo Maresca. With questions mounting over his future, the Italian manager knows a strong run of results is crucial. As Chelsea prepare to host Portuguese giants Benfica at Stamford Bridge, all eyes will be on whether Maresca can rally his side and get their season back on track.

CHELSEA RECENT FORM

WIN: Lincoln 1-2 Chelsea. Tuesday 23rd September 2025.
LOSS: Man Utd 2-1 Chelsea. Saturday 20^th September 2025.

Benfica have made a slower start to the Liga Portugal season than they would’ve hoped, recording four wins and two draws from their opening six matches. While that’s a solid return on paper, they already trail Porto by four points and sit a point behind rivals Sporting Lisbon. Their Champions League campaign began in disastrous fashion, as they let a two-goal lead slip at home to Qarabağ — with the Azerbaijani side pulling off a stunning 3–2 comeback victory.

That shock result prompted swift action from the board, with Bruno Lage sacked and replaced by none other than Chelsea legend José Mourinho. The Portuguese tactician began his managerial journey with Benfica back in 2000 and has since become one of the most decorated managers in the game. Now, all eyes are on his emotional return to Stamford Bridge — can Mourinho mastermind a win against his former club and kick-start a new era for the Eagles?

Chelsea v Benfica football spread betting prices

Our football spread betting prices have hosts Chelsea as the favourites with a Goal Supremacy quote of Chelsea/Benfica 0.9 – 1.1. This means a 'buy' bet at 1.1 would need Chelsea to win by two goals to start turning a profit (e.g. two goal win would win 0.9x your stake, three goal win would win 1.9x your stake etc.).

A 0.9 'sell' bet would need either a draw or Benfica win win to turn a profit (e.g. a draw would win 0.9x your stake, one goal Benfica win 1.9x your stake etc.).

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 3.05 – 3.25. So a 3.25 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 3.05 ‘sell’ bet would need three goals or less to be scored in the match to turn a profit.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3.25 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.25x your stake if the match ended 0-0. In the 1.1 'buy' Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended a draw the bet would lose 1.1x your stake. If Benfica won by one goal then it would lose 2.1x your stake etc. And in the 0.9 'sell' Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.1x your stake on a 1-0 Chelsea win, 1.1 x your stake on a 2-0 Chelsea win etc.

Chelsea v Benfica betting specials and price boosts

Price Boosts are typically available on the Spreadex website the day before the game, so it’s worth checking back closer to kick-off for enhanced odds. In addition, Spreadex also features ‘Popular Bet-Builders’, specially curated by their in-house pricing team to highlight fan-favourite betting combinations.

Chelsea have played twice at Stamford Bridge so far this season and are yet to concede a goal, showcasing a solid defensive record on home turf. The question now is whether they can maintain that form in their Champions League clash against Benfica. Our spread for Benfica Total Goal Minutes is set at 50–58, meaning if Chelsea keep another clean sheet, a ‘sell’ at 50 would return 50x your stake.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. So for example if Benfica scored three goals in the 15^th, 20^th and 60^th minute, a ‘sell’ at 50 would lose 45x times your stake.
