If the Champions League campaign is currently rather well underway for the French teams, several European big names find themselves in a bad position, two matches from the end of the group phase… Including Benfica, although accustomed to the final phases in recent years. With only six points, the Portuguese club must achieve a result this Wednesday against Juventus Turin.
As for the Old Lady, the start of C1 did not go as expected either. Luciano Spalletti’s players currently have only nine points and appear to be left behind in the race for the top 8. Only fifth in the Italian championship, they could still do with a good European run to give some depth to their second half of the season.
Kick-off for the Juventus Turin – Benfica match is scheduled for 9 p.m. this Wednesday, January 21. The meeting will be followed live on television on Canal + Sport.
