Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 62375, member: 636"] Chelsea hosts Benfica at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday for their Champions League group stage second-round clash at 10 p.m. Cairo time. Jose Mourinho returns to face his former club in his first European assignment during his second stint with the Portuguese side. The Blues hold a perfect three-match record against Benfica in continental competition, and remain unbeaten at home against Portuguese opponents across six fixtures. Chelsea enters amid their longest Champions League losing streak with three straight defeats. Benfica seeks to end a seven-match winless stretch against English clubs, but brings solid away form with just one loss across their past six European road contests, and four clean sheets in their previous five matches away from home.
