Europe - Champions League

Having struggled to be at their best in the Premier League at the weekend, losing at home to Brighton, the Chelsea boys will be looking to bounce back on Tuesday evening, though a game against a Benfica team managed by former Blues boss Jose Mourinho may not be exactly what the doctor ordered. At Stamford Bridge, the visitors will be looking to become the third team in less than two weeks to upset Enzo Maresca's men.
While the hosts were being embarrassed on home soil by the Seagulls last time out, the visitors were grinding it out in typical Mourinho fashion. I'm sure the notorious manager remembers his time in West London rather fondly, but he'll undoubtedly be looking to orchestrate a rather painful downfall for the hosts here.

Our Chelsea vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction
Given that we're going to see a less than fully confident Chelsea team take to the field at Stamford Bridge, I'm inclined to conclude that the visitors are a little generously priced in the early betting, so much so that it makes sense to bet on the Benfica boys to secure, at the very least, a tie.
A master at setting his teams up to frustrate and avoid defeat away from home. Jose Mourinho will know exactly how to make life tough for a home team that is already going through a rough spell. Our Chelsea vs Benfica Pick: Benfica +1 Handicap.
