Benfica vs. Real Madrid: Preview, Predictions and Lineups

Los Blancos are out for revenge against former manager José Mourinho and his men.

Less than three weeks after the two sides faced off in the league phase, Benfica and Real Madrid are set to clash in the first leg of the Champions League knockout phase playoffs on Tuesday evening.

What was projected to be a rather comfortable victory for Los Blancos turned into a nightmare at the Estádio da Luz back in January. Álvaro Arbeloa’s men lost 4–2, finished with nine men and saw their guaranteed place in the last 16 slip through their fingers.
