Club Brugge vs Benfica live stream: match preview

The last 16 of the UEFA Champions League is in full swing, and this third game between Club Brugge and Benfica promises to be a corker. The two teams are in quite different form: Club Brugge have only won one of their last six games, while Benfica have triumphed in four of their last six matches. Benfica are sitting pretty at the top of Primeira Liga in Portugal – but that means nothing in the UEFA Champions League.

This isn't Club Brugge's first rodeo – the Belgian champs made it to the last 16 last year for the first time but were cruelly denied progress on aggregate (they drew 2-2 with Ajax at home, but could only manage a 1-0 win away in the second leg). As a result, manager Carl Hoefkens was given the heave-ho. His replacement Scott Parker will be hoping for a better result this time around.

Benfica will be looking to take control early and dominate, much as they have this season – they got off to a flying start under new manager Roger Schmidt, notching up an incredible run of 28 games unbeaten. But not everything is in their favour – they lost Argentinian midfielder Enzo Fernández in a transfer to Chelsea in January (for a record fee). They still have plenty of talent on hand, especially now Rafa Silva and Gonçalo Ramos have recovered from injury.

Kick-off takes place at 8pm GMT / 3pm EST on Wednesday 15th February at Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges. The smart money is on Benfica, with their current form and deep bench. But in the Champions League, anything can happen...
