Current Form: Benfica vs. Dinamo Zagreb
Benfica lost the first leg 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb but still have a good chance to secure a spot in the quarter-finals The hosts will be missing a slew of players, however, including key attacker Haris Sefervoic, who is in doubt for this match.
Currently tied on 60 points with Porto, but ahead on goal difference, Benfica sit on top of the Primeira Liga table and ended up in the Europa League after failing to get out of their quartet during the Champions League group stages. Although they will be disappointed not to have scored against the Croatian outfit in Zagreb, Benfica's strong home record (they have won 10 of their last 13 home games) could tip this tie in their favor as they aim to overturn the slight deficit.
That being said, Dinamo Zagreb have a solid record in the Europa League. The Croatians have lost just one of their lats 14 matches in this competition and have lost just twice all season, so will be fancying their chances - especially as Benfica could be missing as many as six first-team regulars for this contest. Furthermore, a scoreless draw would be enough to see Dinamo Zagreb through. A goal for the Croatian side would be even better, naturally, as it then means that Benfica will have to score at least twice to progress.
