Benfica Vs Bologna Uefa Champions League Match

On Wednesday, December 11, 2024, Benfica will face Bologna in a pivotal Matchday 6 encounter of the 2024/2025 UEFA Champions League. The match is set to kick off at 3:00 PM ET (20:00 GMT) at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal.

Benfica, with nine points from five matches, are in a strong position but need to secure more points to ensure their qualification for the next round. They have had notable victories, including a 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid and a 3-2 victory away to AS Monaco. The team will rely on key players such as Angel Di Maria, who continues to contribute with goals and assists at the age of 36, and Vangelis Pavlidis, their primary threat upfront.

Bologna, on the other hand, are struggling with just one point from five matches and are practically out of the Champions League. However, they remain a dangerous opponent, especially with players like Samuel Iling-Junior, Giovanni Fabbian, and Thijs Dallinga in their lineup. Bologna will be without several key players due to injuries, including Riccardo Orsolini, Charalampos Lykogiannis, and Juan Miranda.

Fans in the USA can watch the match live on Paramount+ and ViX, with Paramount+ offering a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.

The match is crucial for both teams, with Benfica needing a win to solidify their position and Bologna seeking a miracle to keep their slim hopes alive.
