Goal Statistics

Benfica have been steady in front of goal of late, scoring in 18 consecutive Champions League games. Their PG of 1.7 against Nice on Tuesday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Benfica's defensive record is to be admired, Bruno Lage's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Champions League outings. An average PG rating of 1.4 for Nice makes sense in this context.
