The final round of fixtures in the group stage of the most prestigious European tournament will be held this week. There are still plenty of interesting encounters, which most definitely you wouldn’t want to miss.

SL Benfica - Dynamo Kyiv

SL Benfica will be hoping for a miracle and will do their best to leapfrog FC Barcelona this Wednesday when they host Dynamo Kyiv at their Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica.

The home side still have a slight chance to secure themselves a spot in the knockout phase but to do so they need to grab all 3 points this week and Barca need to lose their clash against the giants Bayern München. Dynamo Kiev haven’t recorded a single win in the group stage and therefore will be out of the tournament by the end of the upcoming round.

• In their last 6 games in Champions League, SL Benfica have a poor record of just 1 win.
• Dynamo Kiev are on a poor run of just 1 wins in 11 matches (Champions League).
• SL Benfica have lost just 2 of their previous 6 encounters in all leagues.
• Dynamo Kiev are on a run of 4 consecutive away HT/FT defeats in Champions League.
• Prediction: SL Benfica @ 1.34

Manchester United - BSC Young Boys
