"Benfica are one of the biggest clubs in Portugal and Europe and are aiming to make a strong impact in the UEFA Champions League. With Jose Mourinho now in charge, Benfica have started to turn things around and are currently third in the Portuguese Primeira Liga table with 29 points from 13 matches, three points behind second-placed Sporting Lisbon and eight points behind leaders FC Porto. Benfica, though, have picked up just three points from their five UEFA Champions League games."
"Benfica are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Napoli. Anatoliy Trubin will be in goal for the Portuguese giants and will have Amar Dedic, Antonio Silva, Nicolas Otamendi and Samuel Dahl in front of him in defence. Richard Rios and Enzo Barrenechea will be the two holding midfielders. Fredrik Aursnes, Leandro Barreiro and Georgiy Sudakov will be the three attacking midfielders. Vangelis Pavlidis will lead the line for Benfica."
