Match facts
- These two sides have met nine times before, with Man United winning six of those games.
- Benfica have only beaten the Premier League giants once, and that was nearly 12 years ago (December 2005).
- The Eagles’ home record vs English clubs isn’t great. They have lost five from 16 Estadio da Luz games (W7, D4).
- The Red Devils’ record in Portugal isn’t any more impressive, losing four out of their 12 games there (W6, D2).
- However, the English giants are undefeated in their last five trips to Portugal.
Team news
This is a top versus bottom clash. Man United unsurprisingly lead the group with six points thanks to their perfect start, but little expected Benfica to be in last with zero points after two games.
A win is necessary for the hosts. Luckily, the Portuguese giants boast a nearly complete squad. André Almeida is their only absentee, as he is out through suspension.
The same can’t be said about the Red Devils. Jose Mourinho is without three key midfielders: Pogba (hamstring), Carrick (calf), and Fellaini (knee). Furthermore, Bailly (groin) will not be present to aid in defense.
