Preview
Benfica and Atlético face at Estádio do Sport Lisboa and Benfica, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Benfica

The home team is currently in the 2nd position, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Galatasaray by (2‑1). In the last round, they have tied an away match against Astana by (2‑2). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Académica by (3‑0). Benfica has won 8 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 4 of the last 5 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 5 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 20 of the last 29 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 7 of the last 9 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 4 of those 7 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 5 of them.

Benfica gets to this match after beating Académica at home by 3-0 which means they are invincible for seven matches in regular time. The portuguese team has already secured his qualification to the next phase so we expect that the manager Rui Vitória will opt for an offensive approach trying to earn another victory and the consequent monetary award. Into this match, Nélson Semedo, Salvio and Luisão are the main absences of the team due to injury.



Confirmed Lineup: Júlio César, André Almeida, Eliseu, Lisandro López, Jardel, Renato Sanches, Pizzi, Ljubomir Fejsa, Nicolás Gaitán, Gonçalo Guedes, Jonas.

Analysis Atlético

The away team is currently in the 1st position, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate round, they have tied an away match against Astana by (0‑0). In the last round, they have won a home match against Galatasaray by (2‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 4 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 7 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got an away win against Granada by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches Atlético has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 5 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition.

Atlético de Madrid comes to this match really motivated after winning at Granada by 2-0. This was his sixth consecutive victory in official matches. Just like their opponent in this match, we expect that Diego Simeone plays offensively trying to win the match to rescue the first place. Into this match, Tiago and Jackson Martínez are the main absences due to injury. 



Confirmed Lineup: Jan Oblak, Juanfran, Filipe Luís, Stefan Savić, Diego Godín, Koke, Saúl, Yannick Carrasco, Antoine Griezmann, Luciano Vietto.
Coach: G. Fernández Arenas, D. Simeone.
