Benfica vs Celtic For Free: Where to Watch, Live Stream, TV Channel & Kick-off Time

Benfica play hosts to Scottish visitors Celtic, as the teams square off in a UEFA Europa League phase game in Lisbon on Thursday. Both teams are coming off contrasting results in their opening fixtures of the competition.

SL Benfica claimed a historic victory over AC Milan on Matchday 1 of the UEL, their first against the Italian giants in seven attempts, with a 2-0 win at the San Siro on Wednesday. Dodi Lukebakio gave the lead to Marco Silva's side with a curling effort before Jakub Kaminski doubled the advantage just after half-time.

The Eagles have turned their home ground into a fortress, with their unbeaten run at the stadium stretching to 13 games, which includes 10 victories and draws in the other three. The Portuguese giants are also undefeated in their last 11 Europa League phase matches, making them clear favorites for the tie.

Celtic, meanwhile, were humbled 0-3 at home by Ferencváros in a disappointing start to their European campaign. The Scottish club will look to replicate their domestic form in Europe, where they defeated Motherwell 2-0 to move to the top in the Premiership, two points clear of Rangers.
