THE PREDICTION
The two fixtures between these sides could be pivotal given that PSG look like they will top the group, so both managers will be insisting upon their players that they must keep their focus here. Having won all 11 of their competitive games this season, Benfica are full of confidence right now and their well-drilled defence will be as prepared as ever for this one. Roger Schmidt – whose managerial tenure at the Portuguese club has got off to a dream start – will set his side up to frustrate the hosts here and they look capable of doing that. A competitive, low-scoring game is expected so under 2.5 goals is the tip.
