Match Preview
Benfica (Portugal) are on the hunt for a ninth consecutive Champions League (CL) group stage appearance as they host PAOK (Greece), a team that has never made it past this round before. |
The hosts come into this off a 3-2 victory at home to Guimarães in their domestic league opener, however this game will be their second tie in Europe this month after beating Fenerbahçe 2-1 on aggregate in the CL third round. Benfica qualified for that game after finishing second in the Primeira Liga last season. |
PAOK comfortably finished second in the 2017/18 Greek Superleague, sending them into the CL second qualifying round. |
The new Superleague season is still three weeks away, but PAOK have already defeated FC Basel 5-1 and Spartak Moscow 3-2 on aggregate to get here. |
These teams have met in two previous ties: Benfica went through in a 1999/00 UEFA Cup tie on penalties after a 3-3 aggregate draw, and were victorious again in the second round of the 2013/14 Europa League when Benfica won 4-0 on aggregate. |
Players to watch: Benfica’s 2016/17 player of the season Pizzi dazzled in their opening league game with a first-half hat-trick. |
Alexsandar Prijović scored for PAOK in both games against Basel, and slotted in a penalty against Spartak in the third round. |
Stat attack: Benfica were very strong at home in the Primeira Liga last season, winning 14 out of 17 games (W14, D1, L2). |
Benfica have a 44% win rate from 228 Champions League fixtures stretching back to 1957. |
PAOK have scored in their last ten away Superleague fixtures. |
PAOK scored 23 goals (1.53 on average per game) and conceded just nine (0.6 per game) in their 15 away Super League matches in 2017/18. |
