Portuguese powerhouse Benfica has an early opportunity to make waves in the first round of this season’s Champions League when it hosts Azerbaijani club Qarabag on Tuesday. The Eagles are already flying on the domestic front and will hope to maintain that rhythm against a Qarabag team currently out of sorts.
Bruno Lage’s men are undefeated in the Primeira Liga this season after four games, though they still sit fourth, having played one game fewer than those above them. Perennial Azerbaijan Premier League champion Qarabag, meanwhile, has won just one of its opening three games and looks out of place in mid-table.
The only silver lining for the Horsemen is that they boast a clean bill of health, while two-time European champion Benfica is coping with a raft of injuries at present. Summer signing Dodi Lukebakio is sidelined for the home team, as are Alexander Bah, Bruma, Manu Silva, and Amar Dedic.
This will be the first time these teams have met competitively, with Benfica out to improve after bowing out of last season’s tournament in the last 16.
