Match Facts
This is the first ever competitive meeting between Benfica and Real Sociedad. The Portuguese side have won two of their last four games against Spanish teams in all competitions (D1 L1), having been winless in their previous 15 (D7 L8).
Real Sociedad have won three of their six meetings with Portuguese sides in all competitions (D1 L2). This is their first such match since a 3-2 aggregate defeat to Vitória Guimarães in the 1992-93 UEFA Cup.
The last time Benfica hosted a Spanish opponent in European competition was their 3-0 win over Barcelona in September 2021 – only once previously have they won consecutive home games against Spanish sides, doing so in 1982 following wins over Real Madrid and Real Betis.
This will be just the second time Real Sociedad have faced a Portuguese side away from home in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, with the previous one coming against Sporting CP in a 1-0 quarter-final first leg defeat in 1982-83 (won 2-0 in the second leg to progress).
Real Sociedad have only lost one of their 10 away games in the group stage of a major European competition under Imanol Alguacil (W6 D3), winning each of the last four since a 2-1 defeat at Monaco in November 2021.
Benfica have lost both of their matches in the UEFA Champions League this season without scoring a goal. They haven’t started an edition of the tournament with three straight defeats since the 2017-18 campaign (lost all six group stage games).
Real Sociedad have recorded more shots following high turnovers (6) than any other side in the UEFA Champions League this season. Benfica, meanwhile, were the team who had the joint-most shot-ending high turnovers in the tournament last season (21, level with Manchester City).
Benfica are looking for their first goal in the UEFA Champions League this season, having not scored with any of their 21 shots so far. They averaged 2.6 goals and 1.9 xG per game in the competition last term, but have averaged just 0.9 xG per game across the opening two matchdays (0 goals).
Benfica’s Anatolii Trubin has only conceded three goals in the UEFA Champions League this season, despite facing an xG on target value of six. Indeed, he has prevented the most goals of any goalkeeper this term based on the quality of shots on target faced (+3).
Brais Méndez has been directly involved in all three of Real Sociedad’s goals in the UEFA Champions League this season (two goals, one assist), as well as the most of any player for the club in European competition since joining the club last summer (6 – four goals, two assists).
