Goal Statistics

Benfica's fans will be hoping for goals on Wednesday night, not least because Bayer Leverkusen have conceded in each of their last 5 Champions League outings. A PG of 1.7 for Jose Mourinho's side suggests that run should continue.

Benfica's defensive record is very strong, Jose Mourinho's men having conceded 1 or less in 14 consecutive Champions League games. An average PG rating of 1.3 for Bayer Leverkusen makes sense in this context.
