Benfica seek their first Champions League points in Group D when they welcome Real Sociedad to Estadio da Luz on Tuesday.
The Portuguese outfit have lost both games against Red Bull Salzburg and Inter Milan, while the La Liga outfit secured maximum points in Austria on matchday two.
The Eagles were stunned by 10-man Salzburg in Portugal on matchday one before losing at San Siro, leaving them playing catch-up before facing the Spanish outfit.
With four points separating both sides, the defending Primeira Liga champions could reduce the deficit to one with a victory and hope Inter claim maximum points against Salzburg in the other fixture in Group D on Tuesday.
Benfica lost an eight-game unbeaten group stage run against the Austrian side, and a 10-game undefeated away run in Europe was halted by the Nerazzurri last time out; the Eagles hope to show something different to get points on the board on matchday three.
