Chelsea take on Benfica in the League Stage of the Champions League on September 30, starting at 19:00 UTC.
All eyes turn to the pitch as the upcoming match sees Chelsea and Benfica are set to clash again, 3 months after their FIFA Club World Championship Playoffs encounter which Chelsea won 1-4. Chelsea come into this match fresh off a victory over Lincoln City in League Cup last Tuesday. However, their streak comes with a caveat, their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in four consecutive matches. Chelsea’s upcoming schedule leading up to Benfica features Brighton in Premier League, a match that could play a role in shaping their form and readiness for Benfica.
Benfica come into this fixture having played out a draw against Rio Ave last Tuesday, extending their unbeaten streak to two matches. They have a key fixture leading up to the match against Chelsea though, taking on Gil Vicente in Liga Portugal, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Chelsea.
