A top of the table clash in the International Champions Cup as third placed Juventus face Benfica who are sixth. Both sides have played one game in this competition and are still in with a chance of being overall  winners. Juventus, who are of course without Cristiano Ronaldo, beat Bayern Munich in their opening match 2-0 with both goals being scored by Andrea Favilli who was recently signed from Ascoli. They are unbeaten in their last six games and after this match have a final ICC game against Real Madrid.

Benfica won their first match on penalties against Borussia Dortmund who are currently top of the table. The game ended in a 2-2 draw and as a result Benfica only get two points for the win not three. They did well to get anything actually after going 2-0 down after 22 minutes against the German side who were chasing their third win in the competition. Benfica got back on level terms with goals in the 51st and 59th minute but will need to win both their final games if they want to win the ICC. Juventus have the stronger squad even without a few key players and can get the win here.
