Both SL Benfica and SSC Napoli will go through if Beşiktaş JK lose at already-eliminated FC Dynamo Kyiv on the same night, while Napoli beat Benfica on matchday two so will qualify with a draw. • The teams both have eight points, one more than Beşiktaş, and Benfica will be hoping they are not made to pay for allowing the Turkish hosts to recover from going three goals down after 31 minutes on matchday five to force a 3-3 draw. • On the same night Napoli also suffered frustration as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Dynamo. • The matchday two fixture found Benfica on the wrong end of a scintillating attacking display as Napoli surged into a 4-0 lead by the 58th minute, with Dries Mertens twice on target. Rui Vitória's side made the scoreline respectable with two late goals. Previous meetings • Benfica prevailed when the sides met in the UEFA Cup 2008/09 first round, a 2-0 home win enough to send Quique Flores' men through after Edoardo Reja's Napoli had won 3-2 in Italy. • The line-ups in Lisbon on 2 October 2008 were: Benfica: Quim, Luisão, Sidnei, Pereira, Yebda (Binya 77), Jorge Ribeiro, Di María (Urreta 78), Katsouranis, Amorim (Martins 72), Reyes, Gomes. Napoli: Gianello, Maggio, Rinaudo, P Cannavaro, Contini, Blasi, Gargano, Hamšík (Russotto 67), Vitale (Mannini 78), Zalayeta, Lavezzi (Denis 72). • José Antonio Reyes and Nuno Gomes scored second-half goals to give Benfica the 4-3 aggregate win. In Naples Christian Maggio scored the third for Reja's home team with Luisão quickly replying. Match background Benfica • The Eagles had one of their own players to blame for their inability to take all three points on matchday one. Talisca, loaned to Beşiktaş, earned the Turkish visitors a 1-1 draw in Lisbon. • Their matchday three and four encounters with Dynamo brought a 2-0 win in Ukraine and 1-0 home victory. • The Portuguese side won three of their five home games in last season's competition, losing 2-1 against Club Atlético de Madrid on matchday six. They were knocked out by FC Bayern München in the quarter-finals (0-1 away, 2- 2 home). • A 2-1 aggregate win over Juventus (winning 2-1 at home) helped the Portuguese side reach the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League final. They lost the final, which was also at the Juventus Stadium, 4-2 on penalties to Sevilla FC after a 0-0 draw.
