Benfica will be hoping to make the most out of their home advantage when they host Spanish side Getafe in the first leg of the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup, which you can watch live online on www.oleolefootball.com , our football coverage starting from 19:45 GMT 6^th march 2008.

Benfica are way adrift of Porto in the Portuguese league and the UEFA Cup represents the best option for silverware of the Portuguese giants. Benfica qualified for this clash on the back of a 3-2 aggregate win over Fc Nurnberg in their last round and will be hoping to improve upon their dismal recent record against Spanish clubs in Europe with a win this time around. Benfica have lost their last seven against Spanish opposition with their last loss coming two years ago at the hands of FC Barcelona in a 2-0 loss at the Nou Camp. Benfica will be missing Petit and Augustin Binya for this clash, the latter still serving his four match sentence awarded to him after committing a disgraceful foul on Scott Brown of Celtic in the Champions League.

Getafe like Benfica are having a poor season domestically and need the assurance of the UEFA Cup if they are to secure anything from this season. Getafe however, will benefit largely from the experience of ex-Champions League winner Michael Laudrup and the current coach will be hoping to install confidence in his troops. Getafe have never met Portuguese opposition in Europe and they will be hoping that they can negotiate a tough away game this midweek. Getafe have to their credit secured some fine away results this season including a 2-1 away triumph over Tottenham and a 1-1 away draw against AEK Athens and will prove a tough nut to crack for Benfica this time around.
