Can Benfica put up a fight against the French powerhouse or will Lyon make light work of them?

Benfica have already made history in Europe this season after becoming the first Portuguese team to secure a spot in the Women's Champions League quarter.Tuesday's hosts can also take confidence from their home form in Europe after they won two and drew one of their three home matches in the group stage.While Benfica are hoping to pull off an upset, Lyon will hope they can successfully negotiate the next two matches to keep their hopes alive of becoming European champions for the ninth time in their history.

The reigning French champions made light work of the group phase, winning four and drawing two of their six matches to finish above St Polten, Slavia Prague and Brann.Although they are in the hunt for the Champions League trophy, Lyon saw their hopes of lifting the Coupe de France recently come to an end with a penalty shootout defeat to Fleury in the semi-finals.Lyon will now turn their focus to Tuesday's trip to the Portuguese capital, and they will be quietly confident about picking up a first-leg victory after winning 11 of their 12 competitive away games this season (D1).



Benfica proved in their 4-4 draw with Barcelona that they can go toe-to-toe with the best teams in Europe, but while that result may inspire confidence among the home squad, we think they could be edged out by a Lyon side that has won 11 of their 12 away matches this term.
