Both sides remain undefeated across all competitions in their last five matches. However, PSG are coming off two consecutive draws, while Benfica are fresh off a win. Let’s take a look at their current season performance.

PSG v Benfica Prediction – Preview

Paris Saint-Germain F.C.

Paris Saint-Germain are currently seated atop Group H with two wins and a draw (7 points). They have a UCL goal difference of 3 after scoring six and conceding three. In their last UCL encounter, they drew Benfica 1-1, with Lionel Messi netting for the Parisiens on 22 minutes. The Christophe Galtier-led side also lead the French Ligue 1, but are just clear by one point. In their last outing, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Reims, with Sergio Ramos being sent off just before the half. With Messi missing out on this upcoming match due to a calf injury, could the hosts still manage to contain their opponents from Lisbon?

S.L. Benfica

Benfica are currently second in Group H. Though they have the same points and goal difference as PSG, they lag behind them in terms of goals scored, netting 5 while conceding 2. Their last UCL outing saw them drawing PSG 1-1, when Goncalo Ramos’s cross hitting Parisien Danilo Perreira on the way to the net. The Roger Schmidt-led side also sit atop the Portuguese Primeira Liga, and are clear by three points. They recently saw off Rio Ave in a 4-2 thriller, with Goncalo Ramos netting twice and Petar Musa adding one more (plus an own goal by Rio Ave’s Jhnonatan). Can they once again humble the PSG powerhouse when they visit the Parc des Princes this week?
