The PSG side has had a roller-coaster start to their campaign. Although they are currently league leaders in France, Galtier’s men have dropped crucial points from winning positions. With 7 points from 3 games, they will become clear favorites to win the group if they are able to defeat the Portuguese outfit. A major headache for Galtier would be to fill Lionel Messi’s absence as the Argentine had picked up an injury and would be missing out on the fixture. PSG was held by a struggling Reims side last week something the home fans would not want to see again.
As for Benfica, new manager Roger Schmidt has turned the tables since his arrival. The club was struggling to find form but since his appointment, The Eagles have unlocked a new level. Benfica could take the game to PSG and are very capable of producing an upset at the Parc Des Princess. The club is fresh from a 4-2 victory against Rio Ave and would look to bring their domestic form to Europe as well.
