THE PREDICTION

Benfica have been excellent throughout the group stage and could even finish top should they better PSG’s results in the other Group H fixture. The now travel to a Maccabi Haifa side who lost 7-2 to PSG last time out, but they have proven to be tough opponents at home. They scored against PSG and memorably beat Juventus in their other two matches at Sammy Ofer Stadium, so Benfica know this will be no walk in the park. The Portuguese side are enjoying a fabulous campaign though, and are still unbeaten in all competitions in 2022-23, so the edge just goes to the visitors here.
