UEFA Europa League Group D front-runners Benfica and Rangers have a maximum six points apiece as they go head to head in UEFA competition for the first time. • After an opening 4-2 win at Lech Poznań, Benfica maintained their unbeaten home record in the UEFA Europa League by overcoming Standard Liège 3-0 in Lisbon, Pizzi and Luca Waldschmidt both scoring from the penalty spot before the former added a third goal from open play. A second-half header from was enough for Rangers to beat Lech in Glasgow following their 2-0 win in Belgium on Matchday 1. Previous meetings • Benfica have a 100% success rate at home to Scottish visitors. They have won five games out of five, all in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, with the last four against Celtic, most recently 2-1 in the 2012/13 group stage. Celtic's goal was the first ever scored by a Scottish club against Benfica in Lisbon. • Rangers visited Portugal twice in last season's UEFA Europa League, drawing 1-1 at Porto on Matchday 3 thanks to a Morelos equaliser and beating Braga 1-0 courtesy of a winner in the round of 32 second leg. Those results make their all-time record in Portugal W3 D3 L3, with no defeats in their last five visits (W2 D3). Indeed, they have not lost on the Portuguese mainland for 37 years. Form guide Benfica • Runners-up to Porto in the 2019/20 Portuguese Liga and Taça de Portugal, Benfica's bid to make it 11 successive appearances in the UEFA Champions League proper foundered on entry in this season's third qualifying round when, under newly reappointed head coach Jorge Jesus, they lost 2-1 at PAOK. They are therefore competing in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the first time since the competition's inaugural 2009/10 season, when they topped their section and went on to reach the quarter-finals. • Despite their extended absence from this juncture of the competition, Benfica have played more matches in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase than any other club (40) and were runners-up in both 2012/13 – to Chelsea – and 2013/14 – to Sevilla. They were participants also in the past two seasons, reaching the quarter-finals in 2018/19 but falling in the round of 32 for the first time last term, against Shakhtar Donetsk (1-2 a, 3-3 h). • The Eagles have never been beaten at home in the UEFA Europa League – a run of 24 matches, qualifying included, that comprises 20 victories. Their four group stage games in Lisbon have all ended in victory. Rangers • Rangers were in second place 13 points behind Celtic when the 2019/20 came to a premature end. They also enjoyed a lengthy run in Europe, progressing from the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League all the way to the round of 16, where, as Scotland's last team standing, they were eliminated by Bayer Leverkusen (1-3 h, 0-1 a). • 's side were obliged to come through three qualifiers to reach this season's group stage, beating Lincoln Red Imps (5-0) and Willem II (4-0) on the road before a 2-1 play-off success against Galatasaray in Glasgow. • This is the club's third successive group stage participation. They finished third in their section two seasons ago but came through last term in second place behind Porto, their nine-point total enabling them to finish ahead of Young Boys and Feyenoord. • That 1-0 victory in Braga earlier this year was Rangers' first on the road in the UEFA Europa League proper. Their away record in the competition now stands at W2 D5 L4, with the Matchday 1 win in Liège their first outside Glasgow in the group stage after three draws and three defeats. Links and trivia • Haris Seferović (Benfica) and Cédric Itten (Rangers) both play up front for Switzerland. • Gerrard was in the Liverpool team that, as UEFA Champions League holders, lost both legs of their 2005/06 round of 16 tie against Benfica (0-1 a, 0-2 h). The current Rangers boss captained the Merseysiders to victory, however, in the UEFA Europa League quarter-final between the clubs in 2009/10 (1-2 a, 4-1 h). • Rangers' on-loan South African midfielder Bongani Zungu played for Vitória SC in 2016/17. He lost all four games against Benfica but did score the Guimarães club's consolation goal against them in the Portuguese Cup final (1-2). • Morelos's winner against Lech was his 25th European goal and his 21st in UEFA competition for Rangers, equalling Ally McCoist's club record. • Benfica's victory against Standard matched Zenit's competition record of 23 home games unbeaten in the UEFA Europa League, group stage to final.

Dinamo Zagreb have also kept two clean sheets in Group K but have drawn both matches 0-0. • Benfica are one of six former European Cup winners in this season's UEFA Europa League group stage, the others being PSV Eindhoven (Group E), Celtic and AC Milan (H), Feyenoord (K) and Crvena zvezda (L).
