Team Analysis
Barcelona will aim to post their sixth Champions League victory in seven matches this season when they take on Portuguese giants Benfica in Lisbon on Tuesday night. Hansi Flick's side are currently second in the Champions League table, boasting 15 points from their opening six matches, while Benfica are 15th, having picked up 10 points from their six matches in this season's league phase.

Benfica will be missing Tiago Gouveia and Renato Sanches through injury, while Angel Di Maria is also a major doubt, but the home side are otherwise in good shape for their contest with Barcelona. As for Barcelona, Dani Olmo is a fresh injury blow for the Catalan outfit, with the Spain international suffering a muscular problem during the team's 1-1 draw with Getafe in La Liga on Saturday night.

Odds Analysis
This is such a tough game to call, as Barcelona have been impressive in Europe this season, but Benfica are a classy outfit and certainly have the players to harm the Catalan giants; it would not be a shock to see a home or an away win on Tuesday, but we just have a feeling that a tight match will end with the points being shared.

Pick: Draw
