How will Barcelona line up against Benfica in a crucial Champions League match?

Barcelona look to move on from a frustrating draw away to Getafe at the weekend and focus on securing an automatic spot in the Champions League Round of 16 when they travel to Lisbon to face Benfica at the Estádio da Luz.

Barça are already in the knockout stages but can avoid the playoff round completely if they pick up four points from their last two League Phase matches, but three points at Benfica will likely be enough to complete the job given the Blaugrana’s excellent goal difference, the number one tiebreaker in the standings.
