10.08.2021
Benfica host Spartak Moscow at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday in the second leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League. In the first leg, Benfica beat Spartak Moscow 2-0. They come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Joao Henriques’ Moreirense in the Primeira Liga.
Spartak Moscow, on the other hand, lost 2-1 to Aleksandr Kerzhakov’s Nizhny Novgorod in the Russian Premier League. In three head-to-head encounters between the two sides, Benfica have won two games and lost one.
Benfica have been busy so far, having signed Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk and French midfielder Soualiho Meite among other players. They finished 3rd last season in the Primeira Liga despite heavy investment, and will be keen to enjoy a better season this time around. Benfica should win here.
This match will be played on 10/08/2021 at 22:00.
