That means the Benfica return leg will be the first time Barca have played since winning in Lisbon, where Gavi missed out. The midfielder was named in the starting lineup before Saturday’s game was postponed, however, so should feature here.

Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen are injured, while Cubarsi is suspended.

Benfica may be without Angel Di Maria due to a muscle injury, alongside Tiago Gouveia and Alexander Bah.

Barcelona vs Benfica prediction

Benfica certainly aren’t out of this but having failed to beat a ten-man Barca in Lisbon, it’s difficult to see how things will be much different in Catalonia.

With Raphinha in such fine form, the hosts will fancy their chances.
