Benfica will be delighted with their recent results. They have managed six wins in their last six matches. In fact, their winning run stretches to nine matches. It has been a stellar season for Benfica so far, who have dropped only two points out of 39 in the Portuguese league season so far. Filled with experience and youth both, Benfica look to mount a serious challenge in the Champions League this season as well.
Sevilla, unlike their hosts, haven’t experienced the best of times lately. In their last six fixtures, they have earned just a single victory along with two draws and three defeats. It has been an abysmal campaign for Sevilla which saw their coach, Julen Lopetegui lose his job mid season. New head coach, Jorge Sampaoli too hasn’t managed to reverse their fortunes much either. It is pretty evident that they need reinforcements in the January transfer window.
Both teams have several players who participated in the World Cup and are either still in the competition or enjoying their vacations. So one can expect several rotations from both the coaches for the game.
