Benfica vs Arsenal: Europa League

Date & Time: 01:30 AM (IST), 19 February
Venue: Stadio Olimpico

Recent form:

Benfica: Drew 1-1 away against Moreirense at the weekend. Not an out-of-the-blue kind of stuff, as Benfica are not as consistent this season as they are expected to be. They have won just four times in the last nine league games in all competitions.
Arsenal: The Gunners have been blowing hot and cold all season. They have won some big games but dropped too many points against the small teams. A deep run in Europa League could go a long way in bringing Arsenal back amongst the elite.

Europa League Fixtures: Head-to-head (last five meetings):
This will only be the third meeting between Benfica and Arsenal and the first since 1991/92 European Cup when Benfica knocked Arsenal out by winning 4-2 on aggregate.
Last meeting: 3-1 away win for Benfica.
Watch Benfica vs Arsenal Europa League Live: Sony Sports Network has the official rights to broadcast Europa League matches in India.
Europa League Standing: Benfica finished second during the group stage while Arsenal topped their group.
