What is Benfica and Galatasaray's form ahead of this game?
Benfica gets to this game on an impressive six-game winning streak, which includes a 10-0 whopping against Nacional in the Portuguese top flight. Excluding that game, Benfica has outscored their opponents 16-5 in the remaining five games. This will be Benfica's first home game in the 2018-19 UEFA Europa League after being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League back in December.
Galatasaray has won four out of their last six in all comps, with the exception of a 1-1 draw against Alanyaspor and their 2-1 loss against Benfica in the first leg of this tie. The Turkish outfit enters this match on a five game unbeaten streak when playing away from home (three wins, two draws).
What do Benfica and Galatasaray need to make it to the next stage of the UEFA Europa League?
Benfica needs to hold on to their one-goal lead -or increase it- to make it to the next stage of the UEFA Europa League. The Eagle would also make it to the next round if this game ends in a draw. If this clash ends in a 1-0 win for Galatasaray, Benfica would still go through thanks to the away goals rule.
Galatasaray needs to win by a two-goal margin if they want to eliminate Benfica from the competition. In order to cancel Benfica's away goal advantage, Galatasaray must score three times.
The game would go to extra time with a 2-1 score for Galatasaray after 90 minutes.
