The Portuguese giants will have their hands full as they welcome Chelsea to the Estadio do Sport Lisboa in Lisbon tonight. It is to be noted that the home team have not lost a game at home in this season's UEFA Champions League and they will hope too preserve that record against Roberto di Matteo's club. Cardozo and Rodrigo are expected to lead the attacking line for the hosts, while Nicolas Gaitan,Bruno Cesar and Witsel will play behind them. Manchester United transfer target,Nicolas Gaitan will play in a defensive midfield role. Javi Garcia has already boasted that his team will prevent Chelsea from getting to the semi final stage of the competition. David Luiz and Ramires will play against their former clubs in the colours of Chelsea later tonight. Benfica masterminded the ouster of Manchester United from the Champions League. The Blues have not met the Portuguese side before. Fernando Torres is expected to be benched for Didier Drogba, while Jose Bosingwa will play the right back position if Branislav Ivanovic doesn't pass a late fitness test.
Our prediction: Benfica 3-1 Chelsea
