In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, there will be a match between Salzburg and Benfica. The clash is scheduled to take place at the Red Bull Arena on Tuesday, December 12, kicking off at 9:00 PM Central European Time.

Salzburg

The Austrian side has accustomed their supporters to high standings at home and continues to dominate in the Austrian Bundesliga. After 17 rounds, the team has amassed 39 points, currently leading the league standings. In the Champions League, Salzburg secured victory only against Benfica and settled for a draw against Real Sociedad in their previous fixture.

Benfica

The Portuguese giant has undoubtedly had a disappointing European campaign. Benfica managed only to avoid defeat in their last match, sharing points with an unmotivated Inter. In their domestic league, Benfica holds the third position, trailing the leaders Sporting and Porto by just one point.

Now, for Benfica to qualify for the Europa League Round of 16, they need to defeat Salzburg away with a margin of three goals. It's a challenging task, but their opponent isn't the most difficult either.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Salzburg remains unbeaten in their last five matches, conceding just two goals.
• Benfica has a similar unbeaten streak; however, they drew their last three matches.
• In September, the visiting team celebrated victory in Lisbon with a 2-0 scoreline.

Prediction

I believe the visitors will put up a fight for a spot in the Europa League playoffs. It's challenging to determine if they can score enough goals, but I suggest betting on a Benfica win.
