Match Preview

Benfica lost starlet Joao Felix to Atletico Madrid in the transfer window, but the 19-year-old's replacement Raul de Tomas has hit the ground running with his new club.

He scored twice against Academica in his first Benfica start to continue the fine form he showed last season while on loan from Real Madrid at Rayo Vallecano (UK only):

Haris Seferovic was also on target and should feature against Chivas. The Swiss star also impressed last season, particularly in the UEFA Nations League:

Benfica lost just three games on their way to the league title last season, scoring 103 goals in their 34 matches.

They are a team packed full of quality, with rising stars such as Alex Grimaldo, Andrija Zivkovic and Ruben Dias all in their 27-man travelling squad.

Chivas head into the match as underdogs and will need to sharpen up their finishing if they are to pick up a first ICC win:

Striker Alan Pulido was guilty of an awful attempt from the penalty spot:

Meanwhile, Chivas may need goalkeeper Jose Rodriguez to maintain the good form he showed to keep out the likes of De Tomas and Seferovic:

Chivas go on to play Atletico Madrid after Saturday's match in their final game of the tournament, while Benfica have two more fixtures against Fiorentina and AC Milan.
