Benfica have kept clean sheets in all of their last six games in all competitions
Recommended bet: Benfica to win to nil
Having held out for a goalless draw at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, Benfica head back to Lisbon in decent shape, especially considering Florentino Luis was issued a red card in the 71st minute of the UEFA Champions League play-off first leg.
Fenerbahce failed to make the most of the one-man advantage of the final 20 minutes and, despite dominating possession, shots and shots on target, Jose Mourinho's side could not find a way past the Eagles.
With a tough trip to the Estadio da Luz to come on Wednesday night, Fener will be up against it in Lisbon.

Prediction
Given Benfica's impressive defensive form and Fener's difficulties on the road, it should be the Portuguese giants who triumph on Wednesday night to book their place in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League.
Fenerbahce failed to find a way past Goztepe in their last away game, as their efforts in the final third were found wanting again.
Benfica are a strong defensive unit and they are good value to not only win Wednesday's second leg but keep the visitors off the scoresheet in the process.
