What is at stake for Benfica and Celtic?

Benfica won their opening Europa League fixture 2-0 against AC Milan away from home, and the Portuguese side will be eager to build on that superb triumph in their first home match of the league phase campaign. 

Meanwhile, Celtic snapped a three-game losing streak, which included a 3-1 home loss to Ferencvaros on matchday one, with a 2-0 victory against Motherwell at the weekend. 

While that victory buys Martin O'Neill time, the manager remains under pressure and another Europa League defeat will only increase the speculation regarding the boss' future.
