Benfica host Real Madrid in a tie that pits a disciplined home side against an away team arriving with relentless momentum. Madrid should have the clearer routes to goal through sharper transitions and more consistent chance creation, but Benfica can stay competitive if they keep their shape and make set pieces count. Expect spells of Madrid control, with Benfica trying to slow the game and strike on counters. Goals look likely, with the visitors slightly favoured to get the job done.
