Prediction before the match Benfica vs Chelsea
To reach this round, Benfica surprisingly won 1-0 against Bayern Munich. It was not only a statement of Benfica's strength and potential but also helped them win the top spot in Group C.
The Eagles have won their last two games by a combined score of 7-0, beating Auckland City and Bayern. This seems to have erased a questionable run of form that saw them winless in their previous four competitive games (D3 L1).
On the other side of the front line, Chelsea are on a sine wave. They easily beat their opponents on the opening day but surprisingly lost to Flamengo. In the final match of the group stage, the reigning European Cup 3 champions regained their form with a 3-0 victory over Esperance Tunis. However, they could only continue in second place due to being behind Flamengo in total points.
Chelsea understand that if they want to go further, they must be more stable than before, must be more focused than before instead of showing signs of subjectivity and negligence in the last match.

Form, head-to-head history Benfica vs Chelsea
In the last 6 matches, Benfica only lost 1. The same thing happened with Chelsea. But there is one thing that makes the English team superior: they completely dominate Benfica with a winning rate of up to 100%. In the 3 previous meetings, The Blues won all 3 against Benfica. One of them was the 2013 UEFA Europa League final.
Furthermore, Benfica's performance against English clubs is not very good. In 8 such matches, the Portuguese team lost 5, won 2 and drew 1. Benfica is considered to be at a disadvantage in this match, not to mention their inferior strength.
Benfica's squad is not as deep as their opponents. Their attacking style depends too much on a few wingers, especially veteran Di Maria. On the other side of the front line, Chelsea are confident with their strong squad. For example, in the last match, they changed 8 positions compared to the previous match but still won 3-0. Today, Chelsea continues to lose Kellyman, Mudryk, Fofana and Nicolas Jackson but believe that they still have plenty of options to field a quality squad and defeat Benfica.
