Goal Statistics

Real Madrid's forwards have been superb of late, finding the net twice or more in 8 consecutive Champions League outings. A PG of 2.3 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday night.

Real Madrid's defensive record is very strong, Á. Arbeloa Coca's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive Champions League games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Benfica makes sense in this context.
