We said: Benfica 2-0 Bologna

Only one of Benfica's last 36 UEFA fixtures has finished goalless, and they are scoring freely at the moment - with plenty of attacking options available on the bench if Bruno Lage requires 'Plan B'. It is a virtually make-or-break situation for Bologna, but their lack of a razor-sharp cutting edge could cost them again. Read more.
