It is a massive night of Champions League action on Tuesday and with just two games to go until the group stages draw to a close, the points up for grabs are all the more precious. A number of teams can even seal their place in the final sixteen this week.
Celtic are one of those sides as three points in Benfica would see them reach the knockout stages. The Scottish Champions know that the superb win against Barcelona earlier in the month could count for nothing if they are defeated here.

Barcelona themselves are in action as they travel to Spartak Moscow and will expect nothing other than all three points, especially as their opponents have lost three of their four matches in the Champions League, and have plenty of injury worries heading in to the game.
Unai Emery is without his first two recognised goalkeepers, while Sergei Parshivlyuk, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Romulo miss out through injury.
Valencia host Bayern Munich in what is one of the biggest games on Tuesday evening as both of these sides currently sit on nine points.
Tito Vilanova will be looking to bounce back from a shock defeat to Celtic in the last round and with the inspirational Carlos Puyol and Gerard Pique back in the centre of defence the away win for the Catalan giants at 1/3 looks very backable indeed.
The winner of this one would qualify from the group, so there is a lot at stake. Each have played some superb football recently as well, which means this should be a cracking 90 minutes.
The Spanish side currently lie top of Group F on goal difference, so the result tonight at the Mestalla is key. Jupp Heynckes is likely to bring in the big guns with Frank Ribery coming in on the left hand side with Thomas Muller restored to the team.
Arjen Robben will miss the the game through injury , however.
The Bavarians currently lie top of Bundesliga but after a disappointing 0-0 draw on the weekend at Nurnburg, Mauricio Pellegrino’s side look more than a good bet at 5/2, considering they have won their last five at home and have already won convincingly against Lille and Bate Borisov at the Mestella already.
Elsewhere, Paris Saint Germain travel to Dynamo Kiev and it is the French side that will come into this one as the favourites. PSG are looking to mount a serious challenge in this competition this campaign – so a win is needed here to ensure qualification.
CFR Cluj host Sporting Braga as well and will be hoping the other result in this group goes their way. Also, Lille, who are only playing for pride, take on BATE.
The final game to look at sees Shakhtar Donetsk make the journey to FC Nordsjaelland and a win would all but seal the Ukrainian sides place in the last 16.
It should be a fantastic evening in Europe’s elite club competition.
