Benfica will look to make it three wins out of three in the Champions League league phase when they face Feyenoord at home on Wednesday.

So far, the Portuguese giants have recorded impressive victories away at Crvena Zvezda and at home against Atletico Madrid, with the latter fixture finishing 4-0.

Match Preview

Benfica Recent Form

Benfica lost their first game of the season against Famalicao but since then they have gone undefeated.

They have won six games in a row across all competitions, beating Santa Clara, Boavista and Gil Vicente in the Champions League and Pevidem in the Taca de Portugal in addition to the aforementioned Champions League victories.

Benfica Injury News

The only injury concerns for Benfica surround Renato Sanches and Tiago Gouveia.

Against lower opposition at the weekend, Bruno Lage made a raft of changes to his starting XI so expect some big names to return here. Jan-Niklas Beste started that game and scored both goals but he'll probably drop back to the bench.

Last Benfica Lineup

Here's how Benfica lined up against Pevidem.

Soares; Beste, Araujo, Kabore, Silva, Alvaro Fernandez, Aursnes, Florentino, Cabral, Rollheiser, Amdouni

Feyenoord Recent Form

Since the heavy 4-0 loss against Leverkusen on Matchday One of the Champions League, they have gone five unbeaten.

In that time they have beat NAC, NEC, Twente and Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie as well as putting points on the board in Europe with an impressive 3-2 away win at Girona.

Feyenoord Injury News

Influential striker Santiago Gimenez remains a big absentee for Feyenoord, while Quillindschy Hartman, Calvin Stengs and Bart Nieuwkoop are also out.

Last Feyenoord Lineup

Benfica vs Feyenoord - Prediction

Benfica have been brilliant recently and although Feyenoord have also impressed in recent matches, the Portuguese giants will have too much for them here.
