Benfica have all the tools to advance in Europa, but need some discipline to keep 11 men on the pitch. In the first meeting between these two, back in Portugal, an 18th minute Red to Benfica settled things early. Even with 10 men they made a real go it, so they certainly aren't the weaker side to the extent that odds makers have made them. Great value. My only concern, as we saw in the CSKA / Roma game, is that the pitch is like an ice field, and can cause great possession teams to look like a " Pub Team ".
