Benfica and Red Bull Salzburg will kick off their respective Champions League campaigns on Wednesday, when they do battle at the Estadio da Luz in the opening round of group-stage fixtures.
The hosts reached the quarter-finals of last year's competition, while their visitors dropped out of their group and into an unsuccessful Europa League playoff bid. Red Bull Salzburg do have the tools to cause any side problems, but we see a trip to the Estadio da Luz being a step too far and anticipate Benfica making their superior quality and experience count for a victory in their group curtain-raiser.

本菲卡和萨尔茨堡红牛将于周三开始各自的欧冠征程，届时他们将在小组赛首轮在卢兹球场交锋。
东道主在去年的比赛中进入了四分之一决赛，而他们的客队则被淘汰出局，无缘欧联杯决赛。萨尔茨堡红牛确实有制造任何问题的工具，但我们认为前往达卢斯体育场的旅程太过了，并期待本菲卡凭借其出色的实力和经验在小组赛的首场比赛中取得胜利。
