Although they started brightly, Barcelona found themselves in a pickle before the halfway mark of the first half, as Pau Cubarsi saw a straight red for a last-ditch tackle on Vangelis Pavlidis.<\/p>\n<p>The Blaugrana&#8217;s handicap invited Benfica to go all-out. However, despite throwing the kitchen sink at the visitors, the clean sheet prevailed, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/barcelona-player-ratings-benfica-champions-league-szczesny-raphinha\/\">Wojciech Szczesny<\/a> stopped every ball that came his way. Just past the hour mark, Benfica gave the ball away to Raphinha inside their own half, allowing the Brazilian to charge at goal and find the back of the net from outside the area.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona were keen to extend their winning streak with the clash against CA Osasuna over the weekend. However, the home match was pushed back after the tragic death of club doctor Carles Minarro Garcia.<\/p>\n<h3>Benfica<\/h3>\n<p>The Portuguese side rued their missed opportunities against the Catalans, but they did not let the setback unsettle them. Over the weekend, Bruno Lage&#8217;s side returned to winning ways, with the Eagles claiming a comfortable 3-0 victory over Nacional. With the victory, second-placed Benfica moved within three points of league leaders Sporting CP. Benfica will go level with the Leoes if they win their match at hand.<\/p>\n<h2>Barcelona vs Benfica: Team News, Lineup, and Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n<h3>Barcelona Team News and Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>Andreas Christensen (calf), as well as long-term absentees Marc-Andre ter Stegen (knee) and Marc Bernal (knee), are out injured, while Pau Cubarsi is suspended. Ronald Araujo starts alongside Inigo Martinez at the heart of the defence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed lineup<\/strong>: Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Martinez, Balde; Olmo, De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski<\/p>\n<h3>Benfica Team News and Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>Benfica, meanwhile, will be without Angel Di Maria, Alexander Bah, Manu Silva, and Tiago Gouveia, with all four on the treatment table. Alvaro Carreras also misses out due to an accumulation of yellow cards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed lineup<\/strong>: Trubin; Araujo, Otamendi, Silva, Dahl; Aursnes, Luis, Kokcu; Akturkoglu, Schjelderup, Pavlidis<\/p>\n<h3>Head-to-Head<\/h3>\n<p>The two teams have faced each other 11 times in Europe. Barca have won five matches, Benfica two, while four games have ended all square.<\/p>\n<h2>Barcelona vs Benfica: Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Barcelona are going through an emotionally challenging period, but we do not think they will let it affect their performance this Tuesday. We expect Raphinha and Co. to seal a routine win against the Primeira Liga outfit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our prediction<\/strong>: Barcelona 2-0 Benfica<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish powerhouse Barcelona will look to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final for the second consecutive season when they take on Benfica at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in the second leg of the Round of 16 on Tuesday, 11 March.\u00a0 Barcelona came out on top in the first leg at Estadio [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":371,"featured_media":38734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[76,715],"class_list":["post-39409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-barcelona","tag-benfica"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Barcelona vs Benfica: Preview, Lineups, Head-to-Head, Prediction<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Barcelona will host Benfica in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg this week.
