Where to watch Nice vs Benfica for free in UEFA Champions League qualification?

The pressure is on both Nice and Benfica as they face off in the first leg of the third qualifying round for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League in what should be an enticing clash on Wednesday evening at the Allianz Riviera Stadium, Nice.

These two teams have only faced off against one another twice in the past. Out of that, Benfica have won both the matches, with their only recent game taking place in July 2022 when Benfica picked up a 3-0 win.

Nice finished in the fourth place in the 2024/25 Ligue 1 campaign, and that allowed them to reach this stage of qualification for the Champions League. The French side are heading into this crucial clash in some topsy-turvy form, having only won two of their four preseason friendly matches before the meeting against the Portuguese side.

Benfica are heading into this match with a lot of momentum on their side after they recently defeated Sporting CP to win the Portugal Super Cup title by a 1-0 margin. They have won four of their last five competitive matches, meaning form is on their side heading into these qualifiers.

Franck Haise is dealing with some injury problems in his squad heading into the Champions League qualification round. He is likely to be without the likes of Mohamed Abdelmonem (knee) and Youssouf Ndayishimiye (knee) for the qualifiers, while Sofiane Diop (groin) is also a doubt for this one.

Bruno Lage is also going to be without the likes of Bruma and Alexander Bah (knee) because of their injury troubles. He will also be without the services of Manu Silva, who is also dealing with a knee injury and is unlikely to return anytime soon.
