Napoli vs. Benfica live stream: Watch Champions League online
Napoli face Benfica at Stadio San Paulo on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Napoli will look to continue their hot start to the 2016-17 Champions League with a win over Benfica. In a narrow 2-1 over Dynamo Kyiv in their first game, in which striker Arkadiusz Milik scored a brace in, the Naples club could’ve done better. Milik’s two goals came just before the first half ended, and Kyiv would then go down a man, making their comeback even harder.
Regardless, Napoli looked decent, and their back line of Raul Albiol, Kalidou Koulibaly and Faouzi Ghoulam were strong throughout the match. Napoli is also on a hot streak in league play, and haven’t lost a match since the start of the new season. Expect Napoli to show their strength in this encounter.

Benfica have also not lost a match since their start of the 2016-17 campaign, but were held to a 1-1 draw by Besiktas in matchday one. Striker Kostas Mitroglou has been a key player for the Eagles, with Mexican striker Raul Jimenez right behind him. However, Benfica will be without Jimenez due to an injury and also will be missing youngster Rafa, attacking midfielder Jonas and center back Jardel.
According to whoscored.com, Benfica could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with the home side deploying a 4-3-3.
