How Does Benfica Arrive?

Benfica comes into this match with a strong record in both domestic and international competitions.

On the domestic front, they stand out with a 7-0 win against Estrela Amadora in the Portuguese Cup and a resounding 4-1 triumph over Porto in the league. Despite a recent loss to Bayern Munich, Benfica remains a solid and well-prepared team as they host Bologna.

How Does Bologna Arrive?

Bologna comes into this match with mixed performances, alternating between wins and losses in domestic and international competitions. Their last match ended in a 2-2 draw against Juventus, highlighting their offensive strength but defensive vulnerabilities.
