Pizzi put Benfica ahead from the penalty spot in that game, with Bukayo Saka netting within minutes to grab a crucial ‘away’ goal for the Gunners.

That could prove especially useful when one factors in Arsenal’s form heading into this second leg; Mikel Arteta’s side have suffered defeat in four of their last eight matches across all competitions, downed 1-0 by Manchester City in the Premier League last time out.

Benfica are 15 points behind leaders Sporting in the Primera Division, but have only lost three league matches this season.

When is the match?

The game kicks off at 5.55pm this evening.

Prediction

Arsenal should have gotten more out of the first leg than a 1-1 draw, and they impressed at times against Man City last time out despite coming up short. They must build on those performances to avoid a slip-up here or even an arduous night involving extra-time. The latter feels almost inevitable, doesn’t it? Arsenal 1-1 Benfica (Arsenal to win in extra-time).
