Benfica Lisbon vs. Fenerbahçe Istanbul

On the league path, there are some ties, that could just as well be encounters during the Champions League group stage, so some serious contenders will be eliminated fairly early. Fenerbahce are looking to improve from their shambolic performance in Europe last season and are traveling far west to Lisbon, where they face a Benfica team that has recently been shaken up quite badly:
