[Champions League] A victory over Juventus would secure Benfica a place in the playoffs.

In the last round, Thiago Motta's team failed to secure a victory in an away game against Club Brugge (0:0). Although Juventus extended their unbeaten streak in the Champions League to four matches, they managed to claim only one win during this period. However, the Turin side can boast a reliable defense, having kept three consecutive clean sheets in the tournament.

Currently, the team has 12 points and holds 17th place in the standings. A playoff spot is already guaranteed, but there’s still a chance to break into the top 8. To achieve this, Juventus needs to win and rely on their rivals’ missteps. At home, Juventus has won 9 of their last 13 Champions League matches in regular time.

In the previous round, Bruno Lage’s Benfica suffered a heartbreaking 4:5 defeat to Barcelona in a home game. Leading by two goals during the match, Benfica allowed the Catalans to pull off a last-minute comeback.

This loss extended their streak of unconvincing results: over the last five Champions League matches, the Portuguese team managed just one win, one draw, and suffered three defeats. With 10 points, Benfica currently sits in 21st place in the standings. However, a victory over Juventus would secure Benfica a place in the playoffs.
