The best team from Russia, Zenit, takes on the best Portuguese side, Benfica. They have 4 points each in the Group C and are bellow Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco.

Zenit are dominating the Russian Premier League and have high ambitions in the Champions League. However, at the moment, they are on the 3 ^rd spot, but a win over Benfica would mean them getting closer to achieving that goal. The problem is, Benfica have the same plans.

Benfica have the same number of points as Zenit, but are on the bottom because of the goal difference. The thing that gives them confidence ahead of this game is that they started playing very well recently. After 2 defeats in the beginning of this Champions League season, they played draw and won against Monaco.
