Benfica Lisbon - Chelsea: Form Analysis
Benfica edged Bayern Munich 1-0 on matchday three to finish their group engagements unbeaten (W2, D1). That included a 6-0 win over Auckland City after starting the competition with a feisty 2-2 draw against Boca Juniors.
The results extended Benfica's unbeaten run in recent times during the regular time. In their last 16 matches in all competitions (W16, D5), Benfica haven't lost a fixture during 90 minutes.
Benfica scored in 18 consecutive matches!
That's an impressive scoring run which will be put to the test by Chelsea, who have two clean sheets in this competition. The Blues defeated Esperance Tunis 3-0 on matchday three to finish second in their group, bouncing back from a 3-1 defeat to Flamengo on matchday two.
That loss remains the only reverse for Chelsea in their last six matches (W5, L1) in all competitions. That included winning the UEFA Conference League title, so the Premier League club fans will be hoping their side can advance in this competition and add more silverware.

Benfica Lisbon & Chelsea Squad Analysis
Long-term absentees Alexander Bah and Manu Silva will be unavailable for Benfica. Midfielder Florentino Luis missed their last two matches with a shoulder injury on matchday one and could once again be left out.
Andrea Belotti is back from suspension and may compete with Vangelis Pavlidis for a spot in the starting XI. Their usual formation allows only a single forward in the 4-2-3-1 system, so Belotti may have to wait for his chance, as Pavlidis looks to add to his tally of a goal and an assist on matchday two against Auckland City.
Angel di Maria has three goals in this competition!
The Benfica veteran is rolling back the years, but someone showing pure class for Chelsea is youngster Liam Delap, who also has a goal and assists in this competition.
Delap may slot in as their lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Cole Palmer likely to be recalled in the no. 10 position. Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke will be the supply line on the flanks, as Chelsea will be without Nicolas Jackson, who received a red card within four minutes of introduction against Flamengo. Wesley Fofana joined the squad but is unlikely to feature.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Chelsea Prediction
Chelsea kept two clean sheets in this competition, and Benfica have also done the same. The Portuguese have even kept the Germans Bayern Munich quiet in their 1-0 win. A repeat may be tough, at least in terms of a clean sheet, as Chelsea have a rich variety of attackers at their disposal. The Blues average two goals per game in this competition, while the Eagles average three strikes per fixture. Backing both teams to find the net looks a decent pick, and our Benfica Lisbon vs Chelsea prediction is both teams to score.
Benfica Lisbon vs Chelsea - Other Interesting Predictions
Pedro Neto to score anytime
In a Chelsea squad that is not short of options, Pedro Neto took his chances with both arms. The forward has two goals from matchdays one and two while sitting out of the third game. He's likely to feature from the start and will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net.
