Bayern Munich
Four infirm Bayern players are currently in the care of the doctors, as Sacha Boey (knee), Josip Stanisic (knee), Aleksandar Pavlovic (collarbone) and Hiroki Ito (foot) are all out of contention, but none of them should have come into Kompany's thinking for a start here.
With two more goals and an assist under his belt from the weekend's victory over Union Berlin, Harry Kane has now had a direct hand in a staggering 25 goals in just 14 appearances this season, 17 of his own and five assists across all competitions.
Five of those strikes have come in Bayern's three Champions League matches so far, making the England captain the top scorer in the current edition, and he should spearhead an unchanged lineup on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Guerreiro, Kim, Upamecano, Davies; Kimmich, Palhinha; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane
Benfica
As for Benfica, Lage will be unable to call upon any of Gianluca Prestianni (ankle), Leandro Barreiro (thigh) or Tiago Gouveia (shoulder), but the visitors did not pick up any fresh concerns in the victory over Farense.
Right-back Alexander Bah was withdrawn at half time in that 2-1 triumph, but that appeared to be a tactical alteration from Lage, who went with the same starting XI that lost to Feyenoord for the weekend's Primeira Liga victory.
Akturkoglu's consolation effort against Feyenoord means that the Turkish wing wizard has scored in each of his first three Champions League appearances for Feyenoord; the only player to net in each of their first four UCL/European Cup matches for a Portuguese club was ex-Porto star Ze Carlos back in the 1992-93 edition.
Benfica possible starting lineup:
Trubin; Bah, Otamendi, Araujo, Carreras; Kokcu, Florentino, Aursnes; Di Maria, Pavlidis, Akturkoglu
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Benfica
