Form Guide
Benfica (WWDDDW)
Benfica are in strong form coming into this one. They just hammered Auckland City 6-0, stretching their unbeaten run in regular time to 15 matches. Their attack is clicking, with 18 goals in their last six games. Di María, Barreiro, and Pavlidis are all stepping up at the right time.
