Preview:
Benfica head into this after a 2-1 away win over Juventus on MD 2 of the UEFA Champions League last month.
Milik struck early for the Bienconeri before Mario and Neres found the net in either half for Benfica to ensure successive wins in the competition.
With that win, they stayed in 2nd place with 6 points from 2 matches and stretch their record to 20 matches across competitions.
On the other hand, PSG beat new entrants Maccabi Haifa 3-1 away from home on MD 2 of the competition last month.
Chery gave the Israel side a quick lead before Messi, Mbappé and Neymar struck for PSG to continue their winning start.
This win sent PSG to the top of the table with successive wins from their opening two matches.
PSG haven’t lost in 25 matches which includes 14 away matches; a record seeming to create a storm.
It’s a battle between the top 2 sides of Group H, hence we can expect a thriller.
Both sides last met in the Champions Cup in July 2015 where PSG won 3-2.

Prediction: Benfica 2-2 PSG
This is expected to be a thriller given the form both sides have showcased in recent times. There is plenty to play for with both teams having quality in abundance.
The attacking 3 of PSG remain a threat and Benfica’s defence will be tested. There are goals expected here but the hosts remain a unit capable of hitting the back of the net. A draw seems the most favourable result.
Players to watch out for: Silva, Ramos, Neymar and Messi.
