Barcelona will look to secure their sixth win in seven Champions League matches this season as they face Portuguese giants Benfica in Lisbon.
Benfica have won three, drawn one, and lost two of their Champions League matches this season, earning 10 points and currently sitting in 15th place, just three points behind eighth-placed Lille. A victory in this match would improve their chances of automatic qualification for the next round. They come into the game on a four-match winning streak, including a 4-0 win over Famalicao, and sit second in the Primeira Liga.
Barcelona have won five and lost one of their six Champions League group-stage matches, leaving them in second place with 15 points. They’ve struggled in La Liga, winning only one of their last eight matches. Barcelona are well-positioned for knockout-stage qualification but need to avoid a poor result in this match to secure their spot before facing Atalanta on January 29.
