Watch SL Benfica Vs. Eintracht Frankfurt UEFA Europa League Live Stream: Quarterfinal Start Time, Preview
The 36-time Portuguese Primeira Liga champions, SL Benfica, take on a team that they have never faced before — but one that has yet to lose a match in this season’s UEFA Europa League, per UEFA.com — when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt, the last German Bundesliga team remaining in European competition. But if Eintracht proves anything like previous German clubs who have traveled to Lisbon, they could be in for a difficult evening. Benfica has faced German opposition at home 22 times and lost only three times, a record they will look to improve in the match that will live stream on Thursday.

The Frankfurt side is coming off a high point in their season, when they eliminated Italy’s three-time European champions Inter Milan in the Round of 16, positioning themselves as the Cinderella team of the Europa League, per Bundesliga.com.

Benfica was dropped from this year’s UEFA Champions League following two losses to another German team, Bayern Munich, which caused them to place third in their group.
