Benfica played five matches this season, taking four win and one draw against Setubal. Moreover, the most recent defeat was suffered in the beginning of April, 14 matches ago. Today’s hosts advanced for the quarterfinals of the competition last season and they wouldn’t mind to repeat this result this year as well. On top of that, they don’t have big teams in the group as their opponents are Napoli, Dynamo Kyiv and today’s visitors, Besiktas.

Besiktas haven’t played in the Champions League for quite a while and they would do all they can to impress opponents in the group. The Turkish Champions are weaker side compering to the previous season as they lost their key striker Mario Gomez, who returned to Bundesliga. However, things are going well for the Champions as they’ve gained seven points in three league matches so far.
Surprisingly, Benfica and Besiktas haven’t faced one another before. Portuguese side plays at home and they are more experienced in battles at top level in Eurocups. On top of that, they have more skilled first team that proved they can be competitive so we should expect Benfica to prevail in the match and take three points.
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win.
