Benfica have had a great start to the season and will be going for a third straight win when they host Russian side Spartak Moscow in the return leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League. The Portuguese giants lead 2-0 going into the home clash of this tie and in their most recent match, they beat Moreirense 2-1 to start their domestic league on a winning note. Those two wins, coming after a fine preseason, have Benfica on a seven-match unbeaten run. They have failed to score in just two of their last 10 matches and have scored two or more in six of the matches. This will be their first home match this season, and Benfica are on eight unbeaten matches at their backyard.

Spartak Moscow aren’t doing so well on their part. While they will be chasing this game after their loss at home, they will also be battling a poor run. They are coming from two straight losses, and three losses in four matches. The Russians are struggling back home, with just one win in the opening three matches in the Premier League and have their biggest concerns in defence. In the last five matches, Spartak Moscow have one clean sheet and have failed to score in two. In the Champions League, Spartak Moscow are winless in their last six matches.
