Benfica Preview – Can Benfica snatch 2nd place?
Although Benfica have failed to win any of their last three games in Group E following home and defeats to Bayern Munich along with a 0-0 draw with Barcelona, the hosts return to home soil for this upcoming clash against bottom club, Dynamo Kiev.
Earlier in the campaign, Benfica registered a resounding 3-0 home win over Barcelona and despite the subsequent losses, the Portuguese outfit have lost just these two games in their previous nine ties overall in the Champions League.
Benfica have also won five of their last six ties at home as well, so the hosts will be confident they can get a result here.
Dynamo Kiev Preview – Can Kiev avoid fifth loss?
Having suffered four defeats on the trot in their Champions League group campaign, Wednesday’s visitors, Dynamo Kiev, will be keen to avoid a fifth straight loss when they make their way to Portugal to face Benfica.
Home and away losses against Bayern Munich and Barcelona have dashed any hopes that the Ukrainian side may have had of even a 3rd place finish in Group E in what could be described as a ‘group of death’.
Dynamo Kiev have also managed to win just one of their last 14 away ties at this level and the visitors will bow out of European competition after this fixture as they cannot catch 3rd placed Benfica who are four points ahead.
