Scott Parker takes his Club Brugge side to Portugal knowing the task is tall as they bid to overturn a first-leg deficit to Benfica.

The former Bournemouth and Fulham manager has had a tough start to life in Belgium, with a 2-0 home defeat to their Champions League last-16 opponents combining with indifferent league form.

Roger Schmidt’s hosts, by contrast, appear well-placed for Primeira Liga triumph and will hope to continue a fine Champions League season.

After topping their group, Benfica played well in Belgium, with Joao Mario and David Neres on the scoresheet to leave them in a commanding position in the tie.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fixture:
