How to Watch Benfica vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Stream UEFA Champions League Live, TV Channel

Basement boys Benfica and Bayer Leverkusen clash in a battle to avoid the bottom of the Champions League standings on Wednesday.

After three rounds of the Champions League this season Benfica and Bayer Leverkusen almost boast enough points between them to account for a single win ahead of their clash in Lisbon on Wednesday. Jose Mourinho’s hosts are yet to claim even a single point from the competition after losing three in a row, while Leverkusen is only marginally better off having drawn two of its first three outings to date. Something has got to give at the Estadio da Luz in a mid-week matchup not to be missed, where defeat for either team could result in them ending the matchday bottom of the pile.

In truth, this could very well be considered do-or-die territory for both outfits despite the fact we’re only now crossing the halfway mark in the league phase of the competition.

Victory here would be sufficient to at least keep the dream alive a little longer, and anything less would require a pretty much perfect run through the rest of the competition to advance.

Both of these teams have shown improvement after a change of guard at the helm earlier this season, with two-time Champions League winner Mourinho fast restoring his hero status back in Portugal.

While the European plight has been painful thus far, Benfica continues to deliver on the domestic front and enters this fixture on the back of a 3-0 win away to Vitoria Guimaraes.

Leverkusen, meanwhile, isn’t doing too shabby itself under the tutelage of Kasper Hjulmand, currently sat fifth in the Bundesliga after a horror start to the season.

The Factory Squad will be without suspended midfielder Robert Andrich, while the majority of fitness concerns also belong to Leverkusen, with Nathan Tella, Malik Tillman and Lucas Vazquez also among the doubts.
