NEC Nijmegen desperately need points on Thursday, Jan 21 at 6:45 PM in the League Stage. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

NEC Nijmegen come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 1L). Benfica, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: Benfica's quality should tell even on the road. NEC Nijmegen will push, but the visitors have too much class. Benfica to win.
