Benfica have a good chance of getting their ticket to the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League, but first they must beat Dinamo Kiev at home in their Group E game. The Portuguese side goes to this game placed third in the group with five points, while Dinamo Kiev have one point. It was from their game against Benfica that Dinamo Kiev got their only point; a similar result will end Benfica’s run in the Champions League. They are coming from a 3-1 loss to Sporting Lisbon and will hope to give a worthwhile response here. That loss was their first in five matches; they’ve won three of them and will definitely be the favorites here. The Portuguese side needs to improve on the Champions League run though; they’ve failed to add on the one win at home against Barcelona. With three clean sheets in five Champions League matches, however, they will be fired up for this. Benfica have four wins in the last five Champions League matches at home; their only loss was against Bayern Munich.

Dinamo Kiev have been poor in this competition and going there, they have nothing to play for. They can’t even get to the Europa League spot, and they face a side that needs a win to have any chance of progressing. The visitors have done well domestically but all their problems start when they get to play in Europe. They have no win in the last five Champions League matches, and in the last 10, they’ve managed just one win. In four of their last five matches in this competition, Dinamo Kiev have scored one goal. They kept a clean sheet in their first meeting with Benfica in this group and haven’t managed another. In this competition, they have no clean sheet in their last 10 away matches.
