Where to watch Champions League clash between Benfica and Inter — team news, kick-off time and more.
Benfica will host Inter in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.
Benfica were on an eight-game winning run until recently and that included comfortable wins over Club Brugge in the previous round of the Champions League.
The run came to an end with a defeat against rivals Porto in their previous league outing.
The team that ended Benfica's winning run was the team Inter just about managed to beat in the Round of 16 of their Champions League run. The former Italian champions have struggled to record wins this season and are currently without a win in six matches across all competitions.

Benfica team news
Mihailo Ristic, Goncalo Guedes and Julian Draxler will miss Benfica's Champions League clash against Inter due to injuries. They will also be without Nicolas Otamendi, who is suspended for the clash.
Right-back Alexander Bah had to be taken off in the first half against Porto in the team's last outing and his participation in the upcoming fixture remains doubtful.
Inter will miss the services of Milan Skriniar and Hakan Calhanoglu who are sidelined due to injuries.
There could be a few changes in the lineup for Inter. Federico Dimarco could return to the lineup on the left flank, replacing last game's goalscorers Robin Gosens. In between the sticks, Andre Onana conceded a poor goal from a cross in his last outing but he is expected to continue in goal.
Inter predicted XI: Onana; D'Ambrosio, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Brozovic, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Dzeko
Benfica and Inter have only met twice in the 21st century and both those appearances were in the UEFA Cup in the 2003-04 season. They met over two legs in the fourth round and it was Inter that came out victorious with a 4-3 win at home.
