Considering that they managed to avoid going into a group with any of the real big-hitters, Benfica would’ve had their sights set on thriving, though they’ve ended up struggling in Group G. Qualification is still possible, though the Portuguese outfit will have to better Zenit’s 3-1 win in the reverse fixture and hope that Lyon get beat. In truth, it looks a big ask.
Going forward, Benfica have often made their mark in Group G; they’ve scored in 100% of their games, scoring a respectable seven goals. However, they’ve let themselves down at the other end of proceedings, conceding 11, keeping zero clean sheets. By conceding at least twice in four out of five, Benfica have made life very tough for themselves.
Then again, Tuesday’s hosts did recently beat Lyon at this venue so they may be feeling confident ahead of this clash.
