Benfica host Fenerbahçe...

First of all Benfica haven't conceded any goal in 6 official games so far. Scary right?  Grin  This is what makes things really hard for Mourinho. He'll probably prefer a cautious game unless his team concede. He has more chance by penalties.

What rank? They play in a tiny championship with 12 teams and only one true adversary; that's all that it is to it.
They also play in the qualifying because that's what their rank is about if they had had better results, Scotland would have got a default place directly to the league phase, which they don't! Just because Scotland is in the UK, it doesn't mean the Scottish League is anything like the Premier League.
Either way, they probably have learned their lesson and will manage to beat them even away at Almaty but it's an eye opener to what they really are, a team to make up for numbers.

My point is this. In the end isn't Celtic a much more powerful team than Kairat?  Smiley  Even the huge gap between their values tells us a lot.

Celtic = €130.4m

Kairat = €12.8m

Their value is 10 times Kairat's... But as for performance, Celtic couldn't show that to us at all. Congrats to Kairat! An unforgettable achievement for them. But their goalkeeper had a big role in qualifying for league phase. Made many saves including 3 penalties...
