AC Milan vs Benfica Streaming Options, Kick Off Timings, TV Channels- UEFA Europa League

Europe's 2nd-tier club competition, UEFA Europa League, commences on Wednesday, with AC Milan vs Benfica being one of the fixtures of matchweek 1. The pair missed out on Champions League football this season but are the favourites to win this competition this time around.

AC Milan lost six of their last 10 league games to miss out on a UEFA Champions League spot, which followed the imminent departure of Massimiliano Allegri after being appointed for just a year. Former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim was hired to turn things around, and he has done a good job so far, as the Rossoneri are undefeated in the Serie A after four games.

Two wins against Torino and Venezia were followed by two stalemates against Juventus and Lazio, which puts them fifth in the table with 8 points currently. They will look to kick off the Europa League league phase on a good note, after missing out on European football entirely for the last season.

It would be a sweet reunion for Amorim, who represented Benfica for nine years. SL Benfica finished third in the Portuguese first division under Jose Mourinho despite not losing any game, which has found them in such a situation now.

They landed Marco Silva from Fulham, who has placed them in the second spot in the Liga Portugal standings with 16 points as of now. Os Encarnados started their Europa League qualifiers with a shock 2-1 loss to St. Gallen, but came back in the second leg to win 5-0.

Further wins against Hearts and AGF Aarhus sealed their place in the league phase, and they will look to be among the top eight teams to have a smooth path into the knockout rounds.

The head-to-head record between the two teams suggests that Benfica have never managed to win against the Rossoneri in any of the six meetings so far, something which might have a psychological effect on the visitors going into this game.

That being said, we have a very interesting game on our hands, with two European winners going against each other, and one would not want to miss out on the AC Milan vs Benfica live streaming. So, here is our complete guide on where to watch AC Milan vs Benfica.
