2 months after their last face-off in Group stage Group B, Benfica and Napoli square off once more. In their last encounter, Napoli secured a 4-2 win.

However, they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, conceding goals in their last five away matches in a row.

In this Group stage Group B showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Benfica and Napoli throughout the campaign. The attacking efforts of Benfica have been driven by Pizzi, the team’s primary goal threat, and Konstantinos Mitroglou, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. In Group stage Group B, Salvio has been Benfica’s standout scorer with three goals. Supporting them are Raul Jimenez, Franco Cervi and Goncalo Guedes, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Benfica’s attack.

Meanwhile, Arkadiusz Milik and Dries Mertens have been pivotal for Napoli’s attack, combining to deliver important goals. Milik has emerged as Napoli’s leading scorer in Group stage Group B this season, netting three goals.
