RB Leipzig have won three of their four Group G games to put themselves within touching distance of reaching the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds for the first time, while Benfica's own hopes are in the balance on Matchday 5. • On Matchday 1 a double helped Leipzig to a 2-1 success in Lisbon despite Haris Seferović's late response for the home side. • Leipzig have added two wins and a defeat to that result and head the standings on nine points, two above Lyon with Zenit third on four points and Benfica fourth on three. • Leipzig will be through if they avoid defeat against Benfica and will clinch first place if they win and Lyon do not. Benfica, meanwhile, will be unable to finish in the top two if they do not beat Leipzig. • Although Matchday 1 was the teams' first competitive contest, they met in a summer 2017 friendly, Leipzig winning 2-0 in London with scoring one of the goals. Form guide Leipzig • After beating Benfica on Matchday 1 Leipzig went down 2-0 at home to Lyon, although they bounced back to defeat Zenit home (2-1) and away (2-0) to make it five wins in their ten UEFA Champions League fixtures. • Third in the last season and German Cup finalists, this is Leipzig's third European campaign, and only their 29th match. In 2017/18 they became the first team to make their European debut in the UEFA Champions League group stage, when they picked up seven points to finish third in a section including Beşiktaş, Porto and Monaco. They went on to reach the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals before losing to Marseille. • Leipzig's first European home game was a 1-1 draw against Monaco on Matchday 1 two years ago; also at home in that season's group stage, they beat Porto 3-2 in their only other game against a Portuguese club in Germany, but lost 2-1 to Beşiktaş. • Matchday 1 made it two wins and a defeat in Leipzig's three matches against Portuguese clubs, with six goals scored and the same number conceded. • In 2018/19 the German club came through three qualifying rounds to reach the UEFA Europa League group stage, but finished behind Salzburg and Celtic to drop out of the competition, collecting seven points from their six games. • Leipzig have won eight of their 14 home European matches (D2 L4), although only two of the last five (D1 L2). Benfica • Despite beating Lyon 2-1 on Matchday 3, the defeats at home by Leipzig and at Zenit and Lyon (both 1-3) mean Benfica have won only three of their last 17 matches in the UEFA Champions League, group stage to final (D1 L13). • In 2018/19 Benfica finished third behind Bayern München and Ajax in Group E, moving into the UEFA Europa League having picked up seven points. They went on to beat Galatasaray (2-1 aggregate) and Dinamo Zagreb (3-1 aggregate) only to succumb to Eintracht Frankfurt on away goals in the quarter-finals (4-2 h, 0-2 a). • Benfica have been defeated in 15 of their last 27 European fixtures. • Despite victories at PAOK, AEK and Galatasaray last season, Benfica have won only three of their last 15 fixtures outside Portugal (D2 L10). • Last season's defeat at Eintracht made it five successive losses in Germany for Benfica, who have conceded 15 goals in that run, scoring only two. They have won only two of their 25 away fixtures in Germany, suffering 17 defeats, and were also beaten on German soil by PSV Eindhoven in the 1988 European Cup final, losing on penalties after a 0-0 draw in Stuttgart. • Champions of Portugal for a record 37th time last season, Benfica are in the group stage for the 15th time, although only five of those previous 14 campaigns have extended into the last 16; they also reached the quarter-finals direct in 1994/95. • The Lisbon giants have reached seven European Cup finals, winning the trophy in 1961 and 1962. Links and trivia • Benfica goalkeeper Odisseas Vlachodimos was born in Germany and began his career with hometown club Stuttgart. He was an unused squad member in Germany's 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship victory. • Benfica striker Seferović played for Eintracht Frankfurt for three seasons, scoring 16 Bundesliga goals, before moving to Lisbon in 2017. He was in the team that lost 3-0 to Leipzig in January 2017, Werner scoring the second goal, while and were on target in a 2-2 draw between Leipzig and Eintracht that May.

12 RB Leipzig - SL Benfica Wednesday 27 November 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit RB Arena, Leipzig Head coach Julian Nagelsmann Date of birth: 23 July 1987 Nationality: German Playing career: 1860 München II, Augsburg II Coaching career: Augsburg (youth), 1860 München (youth), Hoffenheim (youth), Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig • Nagelsmann's playing career began at Issing before a move to Augsburg's youth academy. From 2002 he represented 1860 München for five seasons, starting off in the youth side before being promoted to the second team. • Injury prevented him from making a single appearance in 2006/07, so he returned to Augsburg, where he picked up a serious knee injury and was forced to retire in 2007 aged just 20 having never played a competitive first-team game. • Nagelsmann, who has a degree in sports and applied coaching, swiftly took up a post in Augsburg's youth coaching set-up under Thomas Tuchel before two years in charge of 1860's Under-17 side. • His association with Hoffenheim began in 2010 and he led the club's Under-19s to the league title in 2013/14, his first season. Succeeded Huub Stevens as first-team coach in February 2016, aged just 28 – the youngest coach in Bundesliga history – and guided the club away from the Bundesliga relegation zone by the end of that campaign. • Took Hoffenheim to a fourth-placed finish in 2016/17 although their subsequent UEFA Champions League adventure lasted only one tie, Liverpool eliminating them in the play-offs. Another strong Bundesliga season was rewarded with third place and on 21 June 2018 it was announced that Nagelsmann would leave Hoffenheim at the end of 2018/19 to take over as coach of RB Leipzig; before departing he oversaw Hoffenheim's debut UEFA Champions League group campaign and a ninth-placed Bundesliga finish. Bruno Lage Date of birth: 12 May 1976 Nationality: Portuguese Coaching career: Vitória FC (youth), GDR 1.º Maio (youth), Fazendense (assistant), Comércio e Indústria, Benfica (youth, B team), Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai (U19, B team), Sheffield Wednesday (assistant), Swansea (assistant), Benfica B, Benfica • Born in Setubal, hometown of José Mourinho, Bruno Miguel Silva do Nascimento uses Lage as a family name in homage to his father, former local player and coach Fernando Lage. With a low-key playing career in local clubs, Bruno hung up his boots early and graduated with a degree in physical education; started his coaching career aged just 21 as youth-team assistant at Setubal side Vitória FC. • After spells with several local youth clubs, he got the first-team job at non-professional Comércio e Indústria in 2001/02, moving on to Benfica in 2004. In eight years at the Eagles he coached all youth levels, winning the 2008/09 Under-15 and 2010/11 U17 league championships with teams featuring the likes of Bruno Varela, João Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Rony Lopes and Hélder Costa. • Opted for a new challenge in summer 2012 with UAE side Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai, coaching their Under-19 and B teams over two years; then linked up with Carlos Carvalhal in England, working as assistant to his compatriot at both Sheffield Wednesday (2015–17) and Swansea (2018). • Returned to Portugal after eight years abroad and was unveiled as the new coach of Benfica B in July 2018; only took charge of 15 matches before replacing Rui Vitória as head coach of the first team on 3 January 2019; given the job full time on 14 January and signed a contract until 2023 the following month. • Lage – who has written two books on training and grassroots football, one of them with Carvalhal – took over with Benfica fourth in the Liga, seven points behind Porto; 18 wins and a draw in 19 matches later, the Eagles claimed their 37th league title having scored 103 goals, equalling the club record, with Lage voted coach of the season by his top-flight coaching colleagues and club captains.
