Benfica carry a slender 1-0 lead into Germany as they look to overturn Nurnberg to secure a place in the final sixteen of the UEFA Cup to make up for a poor season domestically. You can catch up all the action here with coverage starting from 19:45 GMT this coming Thursday 21^st of February 2008.

Benfica are falling behind Porto in the title race and will be hoping to make up for it with a strong performance in the UEFA Cup. Benfica have a rich pedigree in Europe and will hope their experience from repeated Champions League participations will see them through a tricky clash in Germany. Benfica hold a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg courtesy of a Ariza Makukula strike and they will be hoping to sneak in a early goal which would then leave Nurnberg with the unenviable task of having to score thrice to stop Benfica in their tracks.

Despite losing out to Benfica last time around, Nurnberg will be rather confident of their abilities after dominating the match for large periods of time. Nurnberg sacked coach Hans Meyer and his assistant Jorgen Raab two days before the first leg and new coach Thomas von Heesen will be hoping that his side can pull off a fine victory at home to deny the Portuguese giants. Much of Nurnberg’s hopes will depend on the performances of Czech striker Jan Koller who would be looking to make up for his misses in the first leg with decisive strikers this time around. The aggregate winners will meet the victors of the tie between AEK Athens and Getafe in the Round of 16 on 6thand 12th March, playing the second leg at home.
