How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.

Form
Benfica have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, with their only defeat coming in a 3-1 loss to FC Porto in Liga Portugal. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 home win over Vitoria de Guimaraes, and they also claimed a 2-0 victory over AC Milan in the Europa League during this run. Benfica scored 10 goals and conceded four across those five fixtures, a record that reflects a side in confident attacking form.
Celtic have recorded two wins and three defeats in their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 2-0 win at Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership, though that followed back-to-back defeats to Rangers in the League Cup and a 3-1 loss to Ferencvaros in the Europa League. Celtic scored four goals and conceded five across the five matches, with their away Premiership form showing more stability than their results in cup and European competition.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these clubs came in November 2012, when Benfica won 2-1 at the Estadio da Luz in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures, all played in the Champions League, Benfica have won three and Celtic one, with one draw. Benfica have scored seven goals across those encounters and conceded two.

In the Europa League, Benfica sit seventh in the competition standings while Celtic are placed 28th. That gap underlines the contrasting positions of the two clubs in this campaign, with Benfica chasing a strong finish in the upper half and Celtic in urgent need of a result to climb away from the bottom of the table.
