JAKARTA - Matchday 5 of the 2023/2024 Champions League Group D phase will bring together Benfica against Inter Milan. The match will be held at Lisboa Stadium on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at 03.00 WIB.

In this match, Benfica will act as the host. Appear in front of As Guias' own supporters targeting their first point in the group.

After four matches in the group phase, Benfica still doesn't get any points at all. They are now at the bottom of Group D without points.

On the first matchday against Salzburg, Benfica lost 0-2. Then, they lost 0-1 to Inter and lost 0-1 and 1-3 to Real Sociedad twice.

Their poor score in the 2023/2024 Champions League is clearly concerning. Especially before the match against Inter Milan, who in the previous meeting won

Even so, Benfica's performance outside of this tournament could be a bit of hope because they won two wins.

As Guias won 2-0 over Famalicao in the Portuguese Cup and 2-1 against Sporting CP in the Portuguese League. This note should have been extended by Benfica in front of his supporters.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan came to the opponent's cage with high enthusiasm. Occupying the second rank of Group D with 10 points, the Nerazzurri are also in a positive trend.

Of the last five matches in various competitions, Inter Milan have not lost. Simone Inzaghi's team only swallowed 1-1 at a Juventus meeting in Serie A.

Looking at that record, Inter Milan should be the favorite. If you can get three points over Benfica, the visitors can jump up to the top of the standings to replace Real Sociedad who also collect 10 points.
