With just two games left before the Champions League knockouts begin, Benfica find themselves solidly mid-table with a record of three wins – the most impressive of which came at home to Atletico Madrid – one draw and two defeats. They come into this game on a run of four wins in a row in all competitions, although one of those did require a penalty shootout. These two sides have met nine times in the past and Benfica have won just twice, including a 3-2 victory in the 1961 European Cup final.

Barcelona have had their troubles in La Liga this season but their Champions League campaign has been more straightforward so far. After a shaky start away to Monaco, Hansi Flick's side have won five in a row, including impressive victories over Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. They come into this game on a five-match unbeaten run, including a 5-2 demolishing of Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa, but a 1-1 draw at Getafe in La Liga last time out slowed the momentum somewhat.

Both sides can be very open so we could be in for a goal-fest here tonight. Keep reading as we explain how to watch Benfica vs Barcelona live streams from wherever you are.
