On Tuesday evening at 8:00 PM, the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon will host the confrontation between Benfica and Barcelona, a match that is part of the 7th round of the UEFA Champions League. The most recent confrontations took place four years ago, also in the UEFA Champions League groups, but then they met in a double leg, and in the round, Benfica won 3-0 at home, and the return match ended in a draw, 0-0. From 1991 to 2021, there have been eight direct confrontations and the statistics are on Barcelona’s side, the team that has three victories, Benfica only one, and four other confrontations ended in a draw.
Benfica:
Benfica is in 15th place in the standings with 10 points accumulated and is still not sure of qualifying for the next phase of the competition and needs points in these last two matches. In the six matches played so far, Benfica has three wins, one draw and two defeats in which they have scored ten goals and conceded seven. In the 6th round, Benfica only ended in a draw, 0-0, the confrontation with Bologna on their own field. In the most recent match, Benfica won 4-0 at home against Famalicao and remains in 2nd place in the standings with 41 points, three less than the leader Sporting. For Benfica, the away match against Casa Pia will follow after which they will play in the last round of the UEFA Champions League, away, against Juventus.
Barcelona:
On the other hand, Barcelona is in 2nd place in the UEFA Champions League group standings and has had an almost perfect run so far, the only defeat being in the first round against AS Monaco, after which they have won five consecutive games, the most recent being a 3-2 away win against Borussia Dortmund. Barcelona is the team with the best attack in the UEFA Champions League with 21 goals scored in the six matches. However, Barcelona is coming off a semi-failure in LaLiga, where they failed to beat Getafe away, in a match that ended with a score of 1-1. Barcelona will have two home matches, the first against Valencia in LaLiga, and the second against Atalanta in the 8th round of the UEFA Champions League.
