Barcelona – Benfica

Barcelona welcome Benfica to the Camp Nou on matchday five of the Champions League, looking to take another step towards the last 16. After losing their opening two games of the season, including a 3-0 defeat to the Portuguese outfit in the reverse, the Catalans recovered to claim all six points against Dynamo Kiev.

The side now sits in second place, two clear of the Eagles, who were beaten 9-2 on aggregate by leaders Bayern Munich on matchday three and four.

Barcelona have beaten Benfica twice in their previous five games, although the Portuguese side secured a thumping 3-0 victory at home when the sides clashed in September. Barcelona cannot afford to drop more points in the Champions League, especially considering their last fixture is away to Bayern Munich. It will be tough, but the home side should narrowly seal all three points.
