OFI Crete desperately need points on Thursday, Dec 10 at 9:00 PM in the League Stage. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Benfica come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 0L recently). OFI Crete travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Benfica won their last outing, while OFI Crete suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Benfica clear favorites, but OFI Crete have shown they can grind out results. Expect Benfica to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
