Conte and Mourinho lock horns in the UCL as Benfica and Napoli battle for points at the Estadio da Luz.

Jose Mourinho’s Benfica haven’t had a good start to the UCL campaign. After three straight defeats, Mourinho finally got his first UCL win with Benfica when they beat Ajax. However, for them to continue that momentum, they will have to get past Conte’s Napoli, who have been in good form domestically and haven’t been wanting for results in the Champions League

Team News

Benfica will still be without Alexander Bah (ACL), Bruma (Achilles tendon), and Dodi Lukebakio (ankle) on Wednesday, but Mourinho should have everyone else available.

Conte, on the other hand, is missing injured Belgian pair Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne, plus Billy Gilmour, Stanislav Lobotka, Frank Anguissa, Miguel Gutierrez, and goalkeeper Alex Meret.
