Match backgroundThe omens all favour Bayern München as they bid to book their place in the round of 16 against Benfica, who need afirst win against the German club to maintain their own hopes of a top-two finish in Group E.

• Goals early in each half from Robert Lewandowski (10) and former Benfica midfielder Renato Sanches (54) gaveBayern a 2-0 success in Lisbon in their opening fixture, extending their long unbeaten run against Benfica.

• The German club are now unbeaten in nine matches against their Portuguese opponents, and moved top of Group Ewith a 2-0 defeat of AEK Athens last time out. Bayern have ten points, two ahead of Ajax, with Benfica on four; AEKare bottom having lost all their games.

• That means Bayern will be through to the round of 16 for the 11th season running if they draw and will clinch firstplace if they win and Ajax do not do likewise at AEK; Benfica must win to maintain a chance of a top-two finish.

Previous meetings• This season aside, the teams have met in four previous two-legged ties – and Bayern have won all of them,including the quarter-final of their victorious 1975/76 European Champion Clubs' Cup campaign and the second roundof the 1981/82 competition. In both instances a goalless first leg in Lisbon was followed by a big Bayern win inMunich.

• Jürgen Klinsmann was the standout performer in the clubs' 1995/96 UEFA Cup third round tie. The striker scored allfour goals in Bayern's 4-1 home first-leg victory, then added two more in a 3-1 Lisbon success. Bayern went on tobeat Bordeaux in the final, Klinsmann finishing with a competition-record 15 goals for the season.

• Most recently, Bayern were 3-2 aggregate victors in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League round of 16, a 1-0 win inMunich preceding a 2-2 draw in Portugal, Thomas Müller scoring the decisive second goal.

Form guideBayern• Having opened Group E with that 2-0 win at Benfica, Bayern were held to a 1-1 draw by Ajax in their first homegame. A pair of 2-0 victories against AEK, the first in Greece, took them to the top of the standings.

• The 2-0 home win against AEK was Bayern's first European success in Munich in four games. They won their firstfour in 2017/18, drawing with Sevilla in the quarter-final second leg and losing to Real Madrid in the semi-final first legbefore this season's draw against Ajax.

• Champions of Germany for a record 28th time last season – with an unprecedented sixth successive Bundesliga title– Bayern are in the group stage for the 22nd time.

• The Munich club have reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals or better in each of the last sevenseasons. They last failed to progress from the initial group section in 2002/03, although they missed out altogether onthe UEFA Champions League in 2007/08.

• For the second year in a row Bayern's campaign was ended by Real Madrid in 2017/18, via a 4-3 aggregate semi-final defeat.

• Bayern have suffered only two defeats in 27 matches with Portuguese clubs, both against Porto. In the 2014/15UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, they went down 3-1 in the first game in Portugal, but turned the tie roundspectacularly with a 6-1 second-leg success in Munich. They also lost to Porto in the 1987 European Cup final, 2-1 inVienna.

• The Munich club have won ten of their 12 home games against Portuguese visitors, drawing the other two. They areon a four-game winning streak, scoring 15 goals in the process.

Benfica• Benfica bounced back from losing to Bayern by defeating AEK 3-2 in Athens on matchday two. They then lost 1-0 atAjax before a 1-1 home draw against the Dutch club.

• Victory in Greece ended Benfica's eight-match losing run in the UEFA Champions League, group stage to final – aPortuguese record.

• Benfica have still won only three of their last 15 continental fixtures (D3 L9).

• Benfica kicked off this season in the third qualifying round with a 2-1 aggregate win against Fenerbahçe (1-0 home,1-1 away). The first leg ended a run of seven successive European defeats – the Eagles failing to score in six ofthose, including the last five. PAOK were then defeated 5-2 over two legs in the play-offs (1-1 home, 4-1 away).

• Before this season, Benfica had lost four successive European away games, all without scoring, and were without awin in five. Despite the victories at PAOK and AEK, they have won only three of their last 12 fixtures outside Portugal

Ever-present at the 2002 World Cup and UEFA EURO 2004, he also featured in the 2006 World Cup andUEFA EURO 2008, retiring in 2009 with 83 caps and 14 international goals.

• Born in Alverca do Ribatejo, in the Lisbon district, Rui Vitória spent the majority of his playing career as a midfielderwith clubs from the Portuguese capital's metropolitan area.

• Always plied his trade in the lower divisions and was a mainstay at Vilafranquense for nine seasons, with a one-yearinterlude at Alverca in 1996/97.

The first step was taken at Fátima in 2006, where his debutseason was marked by promotion to the second division followed by immediate relegation, a journey repeated in thenext two campaigns.

• His good work led him to Paços de Ferreira in the top division. The first season ended with a seventh-place finish inthe Liga and defeat by Benfica in the 2010/11 League Cup final. Departed three games into the following season butonly took a week to find a new employer, in the shape of Guimarães.
