The Estádio da Luz plays hosts to a UEFA Women's Champions League contest on Wednesday evening as SL Benfica W takes on FC Twente.
Both teams come into matchday three still searching for their first victory in the league phase, and a competitive matchup with plenty of chances at both ends is expected.
Benfica had the edge in previous encounters, but come into this fixture as odds-against favourites in a potentially tricky tie against the Dutch champions.

UEFA Women's Champions League
SL Benfica W and FC Twente W will meet for the fifth time on Wednesday. Benfica won three and drew one of four previous UEFA Women's Champions League encounters, including a 4:0 win in Portugal four years ago.
SL Benfica W team overview
SL Benfica W return to UEFA Women's Champions League action in impressive form after securing a third successive victory last weekend. Ivan Baptista's side eased to a 2:0 win against Torrense on Saturday thanks to second-half goals from Anna Gasper and Chandra Davidson.
The Portuguese side scored 12 goals in their three most recent victories, while they have now picked up wins in six of their last eight matches.
The Eagles have yet to hit the heights in their Champions League performances, though. Benfica slipped to a 2:1 defeat against Juventus on matchday one, before a 2:0 defeat against Arsenal last month.
A high-scoring Women's Champions League contest could be on the cards in Portugal. Benfica have seen over 2.5 goals in six of their last eight matches. Four of their last five UCL games also finished with BTTS.
Head coach Baptista is likely to stick with much of the same side that secured a third successive win last weekend. Chandra Davidson is likely to return to the side after a goal-scoring substitute appearance against Torrense.

FC Twente W team overview
FC Twente arrive in Portugal after a morale-boosting 5:0 win against ADO Den Haag ten days ago. Danique van Ginkel scored twice in a routine victory for Joran Pot's side.
The Dutch champions had failed to win three previous matches before their much-needed victory against ADO earlier this month.
High-scoring outcomes can usually be relied upon when the Enschede-based side are in action. All but two of their last ten games finished with over 2.5 goals scored while five of their six most recent matches delivered BTTS. Furthermore, only two of seven previous UCL games did not finish with both teams on the scoresheet.
Danique van Ginkel is likely to earn a recall to the side after scoring twice in her second-half substitute appearance at Den Haag.

Prediction
Both teams will be confident of scoring in a likely entertaining and evenly-balanced UEFA Women's Champions League matchup.
BTTS is my best bet at the Estádio da Luz.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS

- Twente have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches
- Twente have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches (Women's Champions League)
