Benfica face Manchester United at the Estadio de Luz on Wednesday, Oct. 18. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Benfica will take on Manchester United in the third match in Group A. The two teams are mirror images of each other early on in the Champions League, as Benfica are win-less, sporting a minus six goal differential while United are unbeaten with a plus-six differential. Benfica lost to CSKA Moscow 2-1 on the opening day and 5-0 against Basel the following game. For reference, United beat Basel 3-0 the match before. While they have been in decent form in the Primeira Liga, sitting in third place, they could hardly have played worse in the Champions League.
United, on the other hand, has been in terrific form in both leagues. They’ve scored seven goals in Group A and only given up one, a rather meaningless 90th-minute confidence booster to CSKA Moscow. In the Premier League, United are two points behind rivals Manchester City, still unbeaten and playing stout defense. The Red Devils have only given up four total goals in all competitions. Even playing away from home, this should be a relatively easy win for Jose Mourinho and company. Benfica are just about out of the Champions League already.
