Benfica play host to Ligue 1 superpowers Paris Saint-Germain in UEFA Champions League action with the two sides leading the way in Group H.
Two wins each from two games played puts the pair in a strong position to reach the last 16 in 2023 with this contest potentially helping to decide the group winner.
New PSG head coach Christophe Galtier will be aiming to break their knockout-stage hex in the coming months with just one final appearance in the past ten seasons.
Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have the ability to test any defence in world football but consistency in Europe remains an issue for PSG.
